Title: Re: [NAFEX] Re: [NAFEX]grafting ribes
It's possible to use a long, straight Josta stem and graft a gooseberry to the top of it, giving you a plant that is rather like a tree rose.  This is done in Britain.

This brings up a question I have had.....I bought a josta 3 years back, it
is now5 feet tall, hasn't so much as bloomed yet. When do these things
produce?
I propagated a bunch from sticks this last spring and they have grown 3
times as much as any other ribes I propagated, impressive growth.
Would not they make a good rootstock? Are they worth grafting to?  If so,  
what kind of graft?  Del
