I tried for two consecutive years to put Chestnut crab onto a 
well-established M.baccata seedling/sucker I'd received from a Canadian 
friend.  At least two attempts each season, but never did get a take, and 
still haven't put anything else on it.  Guess I need to get a piece of 
Dolgo from someone, or I could put Centennial on it - surely with its 
baccata heritage, it would take?
