A note I got from Cummins Nursery states:

"We have had graft union sensitivity with first Krymsk 86 and now Krymsk 1 in many varieties, we always lose an inordinate number of trees to breakage at the time of digging. The hope has been that these unions would strengthen over time, which does seem to happen in the case of many varieties. But all in all I think we are ready to abandon the Krymsk 1 for apricots (and peach, but not plum), in spite of the cold hardiness and the dwarfing qualities. For the spring 2014 season we are returning to the use of Manchurian"

So I would not graft peach onto K1 since it is incompatible with apricot and
peach...

Alan queries:

So Fluffy, it sounds like a valuable tree- why are you done with it?

My reply:

We normally get our first hard frost/freeze by Oct 15th, I think I have only
gotten 2-3 harvests in the 20 some years I have grown it. It is simply too
late here. I might graft it to Krystk 1 (nothing I have read so far says
that peach was found to be incomparable, though circa 2002-2005 it seems
there were open concerns; however I may not have read far enough yet.) and
plant it against my south facing brick wall. The peach I have there now
(Belle of Georgia - so yummy)seems 3 weeks ahead of its clone parent.

If you want to try it, I'll see if it has broke yet or can hard prune it to
push wood for you for next year.

Nice to hear from you Alan.

Your friend,

fluffy

I have a peach (it was suppose to be a Reliance but it actually tasted
good (the few times I got a ripe one off of it), it ripes late Oct to mid
November here in zone 5a/4b. Quite a tough tree too, it is 20 years old
and vigorous. this might be the last year I keep it, so let me know if
you
want a scion. They may have broken now, not sure...the peaches are
huge...
the fluffy one
