Bernie, If I could acquire a sack of evans seeds, propagate them, and graft 
onto them the next year....then plant the sucessful grafts so they top 
root....would'nt it solve compatability and root stock questions as well as 
save me the costs of buying less then hardy rootstock.. I dont have access 
to tissue culturing, or root suckers.
Thanks, Del
