There was a guy from NC who at one of the NAFEX conventions told me he'd been grafting onto sparkleberry with good results. If I remember correctly there was also an article in a Pomona 15 yrs ago about it....I'd like to try this in Massachusetts, if anyone has seeds or plants or even cuttings I'd like to...pls email me at machelp@attglobal.net and I'll send you my swap list. I assume Lucky meant to say he was putting northern blueberries on sparkleberry, not sparkleberry on blueberry.
