Scott, I was going to do a few one shot interstem grafts. Now that you 
mention it I will also graft the deliciosa kiwi directly onto the hardy 
kiwi. Next season i'll bridge graft in the kolomikta interstem. Thanks 
for the tip, I'll leave in the Kens Red grafts with a meader male branch 
to pollinate. I will like having the ripe fuzzy kiwi fruit in February.

I planted a Saanichton kiwi at a friends arbor and it made it to the 
top.  I'll have Saanichton scion wood for top workin. I ordered the last 
Blakes Kiwi from Rolling River and it will be delivered tomorrow. If you 
are pruning your  Blakes vine save some wood for me.
