I have grafted my Quince rootstock to a mother pear tree and it grew for
quite a long time till I had no need for it and severed it.

In the past, we've discussed grafting pear cultivars onto quince &/or
hawthorn rootstocks, but does anyone have any experience doing the
reciprocal?

A friend sent me some "Aromatnaya" quince scions - but I have no quince
seedlings to work them onto - plenty of pear & hawthorn, but no quince. I
wondered if anyone had any words of encouragement - I've already grafted
scions onto a couple of pears and a hawthorn, so if you're gonna warn me
not to, don't waste your time typing 8>)

Progress report of sorts: 3 years ago, I grafted "Ayers" pear onto what I
had purchased as a seedling pear rootstock, but last spring, after closer
examination, I determined that it was an apple seedling. The 3-yr old
graft, an unbranched whip only about 4 ft tall, bloomed profusely this
spring. If it escapes frost/freeze damage, I suspect I'll have to thin
pretty severely. I did cut scions off it this spring to re-graft onto a
known pear rootstock, in the event that it doesn't survive long on it's
apple root.
