Is a scion graft from a water sprout as fruitful as a normal growth scion?
The tree did graft very oddly. The scion grew in its diameter faster than
the rootstock. For example, the scion had a diameter of 1 ½”after two
years, and the rootstock was only 1” in diameter. It has balanced out now.
The rootstock was a dwarf apple from a cattle pasture. It looked like anold, twisted apple tree, in a 3’ whip.
I did a simple splice graft, it being the first thing I ever grafted.
The scion was from an Improved Snow (local Fameuse variant) and it came from
a circa 1918 standard sized tree.
I know, I know… Patience is the biggest step.
