Ernest, I have a link showing 'evans' on 'jumping pound' pin cherry from when I was visiting an apple farmer in Fairbanks Alaska; http://home.comcast.net/~hollaus/Far_North/evans.htm -left side 'evans' -right side 'jumping pound' -arrow is the graft high on JP pin.
I heard of that person that grafts the 'lapins' and he also uses 'evens to the same stock. I did the reverse of a couple pin cherries to a sweet cherry stock and for 2 years not showing any problems yet. Mind you I live in the moist northwest and I need pin cherries under the protection of the greenhouse or they would have been overcome by disease.
Rupert.

On the Far North Garden Forum there is a picture of a Lapins Cherry grafted to a pin cherry rootstock. There is one great looking ripe cherry in the picture. I may be too suspicious but it looks a little like the ripe cherry was stapled on. Anyway, anyone have experience using pin cherry as a rootstock? I think I heard somewhere about pin cherry rootstock. I wonder if Evans cherry could be grafted on this rootstock? There are a lot of pin cherry trees growing about 100 miles South of me but I have never seen on growing here. I have never grafted cherries.
