high on a Psudocydonia would look pretty interesting.
Rob,
My friend Joe, out in Davis, California, carries out what he calls
'guerrilla grafting' - whenever he can foster good fruiting cultivars
onto mundane rootstocks around his lot or neighborhood, he does so.
One of his neighbors had a relatively unproductive Chaenomeles hedge,
but Joe has worked several Cydonia quinces onto it.
I can't speak for whether or not Pseudocydonia is graft compatible
with Chaenomeles or Cydonia, though.
