"Before" means before I buried grafts.  I was not doing a research
study.  I was just trying to get trees to live through winters. I
bought trees from several sources. Local and mail-order. It is
possible burying graft is just protecting graft from winter cold. 
This fall I will probe around buried trunks to see if roots have
grown from Evans trunks.  I'll look up Evans own-root sources and let
you know.
