Jim:

   Sprouts from the near or in ground area of a tree have the great
possibility of being sprouts of the rootstock that the fruit bearing part of
the tree is grafted onto.
   Most likely the sprouts from the fruit bearing area of the tree will be
ok.

Hello,
In talking to many people about grafting, and also doing lots of reading on
the subject, it seems that some tell you that water sprouts are good for
scion wood, and others say not to use them, and I seem to recall at least
one mention that scions from water sprouts would never bloom, which must not
be the case if others recommend their use.

Jim

Hi,



I read the article on non-blooming, and I am still curious...



Is a scion graft from a water sprout as fruitful as a normal growth scion?
