Hi Ted,
Here is a pretty good article on peach rootstock: https://extension.psu.edu/the-changing-peach-rootstock-picture Most commercial grower get their peach trees from Adams County Nursery in PA. Gardeners pruchase their trees from Stark Brothers and a few other outlets.
Look like you can purchase peach rootstock here: https://onegreenworld.com/product/lovell-rootstock/ It is worth a shot.
I wonder if you may also want to pruchase another peach tree and graft your current peach cultivar onto the new peach tree.
Good luck!
