Hello Biz,

Modern grafters do not believe that rootstock affects the flavor of the  
scion's ultimate fruit.  However, the ancients swore by grafting certain  
rootstocks to certain scions for improved flavor.

Review this web page, searching for the word "graffe";

I am not sure if it was Columella, or Cato who swore by grafting apple to  
quince for better flavor.

You done any grafting in this area?

LAter,
Tom
