Hello All,
    This has been an interesting thread.  I come down on the side of genetic
variation.  I've used P. americana as a stock for the Russian Myrobalan
plums and also tried it last year on a sour cherry (so far so good).  I mow
my orchard and just leave an occasion batch of sprouts, graft them one year
and dig them the next.  So far so good.  I can see where without regular
mowing those sprouts could be a serious problem.
