antonovka with emla 27 interstem

15 years ago

Got my Fedco order form and my Omega grafting pliers, [yes, I know that makes me a certified whoos on this forum] so I'm ready to go to town. I'm grafting new varieties on all my doggier trees. I also want to experiment. What do you all think about grafting Emla 27 on top of Antonovka? (yes, I know Emla 27 is still patented--I'm willing to spend a few bucks to experiment). Is that just too much of a variation between ultra-dwarf and full-size?

We have kind of weak soil here. Also, EMLA 27 is a little too dwarfing for my wants. My goal is to get the precocity and heavy bearing characteristic of EMLA 27 with the rough-and-ready roots of Antonovka, and maybe just a little more "oomph" to the size of the tree.

What do you guys think?
