Thanks Jon,
I did order some V1 trees from Cameron yesterday and I'm glad you told me
about the spacing, as I was heading for 4 feet. I''ll plant 5x12 and give
you a report as the next few seasons go by.

Hugh, see this for a start:

Several growers here in Massachusetts have planted Honeycrisp (and maybe
some other varieties?) on V.1 in recent years. The trees have done very
well, however, they are larger than B.9 and M.9. Planting 3-4 feet apart is
running into some crowding issues. They have been precocious, but I would
plant them 5-6 ft. apart using a vertical axis type training. Trees I
believe have come from Cameron Nursery.

In my search for a cold tolerant rootstock, I ran across Vineland 1. Any
input on this rootstock from anyone? B9 Honeycrisp trees are hard to find
so I'm considering V1.
