Unlike most other Actinidia species, kolomiktas don't seem to have any 
compatibility issues with other Actinidia species, so you should be able to 
graft on any other species. However, they are not as vigorous, so I could see 
problems later on with vigorous scions. I'm not sure how they would affect 
vigor of the scion.

I was reading up on chip-budding and the article I saw indicated that 
Actinidia (kiwi) could be 
chip-budded. 

I wonder if you could grow the Argutas on a rootstock of Kolomikta. If that 
works, you might be 
able to use the existing roots to grow another variety, and possibly dwarf 
the Argutas. 

Just thinking out loud, so to speak ...I mean, write.
