Depends on where you live. My dictionary shows stalk as a definition of stock
and my grandmother's THE NEW GARDEN ENCYCLOPEDIA published in 1942
and still considered to be the 'bible' on gardening in this household
also shows stalk as a definition for stock.
In Texas I grew cleMATis. In Mississippi I have learned to grow
CLEMatis and just go with the flow from the Texas 'tank' to the
Mississippi 'pond.'
I do think stock for stalk is more British English and that
includes Canadian and Australian English.
You can do a search on 'stock'' in the archives and find it used
many times to mean stalk.
