I don't think so, as Bali is sold bt St. Lawrence Nursery, which says they 
are own-rooted tissue-culture propagated plants.

I believe the owner of St. Lawrence decided to sell 'Evans' as 'Bali' in 
honor of his daughter or something along those lines. (that being her name.)

I have no direct experience with either evans or bali, having only seen them 
in catalogs, but I'm pretty sure they are identical, except that Evans can be 
found both own-rooted and grafted, whereas 'Bali' is basically a brand name 
and is always own-rooted.

Me, I planted a little carmine jewel this spring. I don't know why I 
bothered, as the critters have eaten all of my fruit this year. I guess hope 
springs eternal.

As far as I can tell.  Evans are own-rooted from Canada.  Bali are

Evans rooted on Mazzard roorstock and not as hardy.
