This brings up a another issue. I always wondered if the different quinces were graft compatable?? The low form of Chaenomales grafted high on a Psudocydonia would look pretty interesting.

Rob,
My friend Joe, out in Davis, California, carries out what he calls 'guerrilla grafting' - whenever he can foster good fruiting cultivars onto mundane rootstocks around his lot or neighborhood, he does so.
One of his neighbors had a relatively unproductive Chaenomeles hedge, but Joe has worked several Cydonia quinces onto it.
I can't speak for whether or not Pseudocydonia is graft compatible with Chaenomeles or Cydonia, though.
