Subject: Re: [NAFEX] can I graft apple to pear or hawthorn?

My experience with grafting on different species within the same genus
are with pears on apple, amelanchier and hawthorn
I now consider such grafts only as a temporary home for
varieties.
Claude, Quebec.
This is one of the reasons I started grafting on wild stock, but have now
quit using wild stock as a 'scion bank' out of uneducated concern that
future use of scion wood from them could introduce wild virus' etc. into my
orchard. Eventually I might pass such onto others if I gave away scion wood.
A legit concern? Del
