    I wouldn't recommend it.  I did something similar.  When I planted apple 
trees, I grafted four different varieties on the same trees.  It was my 
thinking that I didn't want the whole crop ripening at one time.  My grafts 
were to give me a succession or ripening from July into September.  That 
worked well for a few years but, one by one, the more vigorous varieties 
strangled the less vigorous.  Where vigor seemed matched, they pushed each 
other over until today, fifteen years later, there is only one variety left 
on each trunk.
