I have a hardy kiwi (A. arguta) - 7 stems from the base; crawls along fence.  


1. Can I graft a separate variety unto each of these 7 stems, pruning any 
future stems that arise from the base; or will the strongest cultivars 
out-compete and choke out the weakest?  The fence goes up an incline 
direction so they will all be covering the same area, spreading along the 
fence in the same direction.  Is this good for long-term?


2. What species of kiwi can be permanently graft-compatable with A. arguta?   
Is A. polygama and/or A. deliciosa? 


Thanks,
Steve
