Must be your brown thumb, Lucky!!  Last year we finished 106 of 110
Chestnut budded on Geneva 30 and 38 of 40 on MM.106.  Haven't tried
dormant grafting.

Hmm.  I tried grafting Chestnut crab two years in a row, with scions
purchased from two different sources, on several different rootstocks -
M.111, M.9, M.7, and seedlings.  Never could get a take, and I didn't
handle it any differently from any of the other apples, on which I got >90%
successful takes.
