Hi Derry,

I use Siberian Pear seedlings for rootstock.  I have had some trouble when 
grafting some of the pear varieties I got from Canada's Clonal Genebank and 
I'm hoping that was a timing issue with the budwood being shipped from the 
East.  I have had nearly 100% success grafting on some super hardy pears from 
Russian which have Siberian Pear in their parentage.  But maybe Siberian Pear 
rootstock has the same compatibility issues that I've heard about (and 
experienced) when grafting regular apples, without Siberian Crab in their 
background, onto Siberian Crab rootstock.
