Outragous grafting question:
« on: February 21, 2016, 05:19:07 AM »
Here it is. I have a row of concord grape clones, all came from the same genome. If I grafted them all together, what benefit would it serve? Or perhaps to a fault? I assume this is possible. Even if they weren't identical genetic matches, what benefit does a graft serve that connects two root systems?

I may have inhaled...

 The mergering of several plants together provides a larger root mass, and alows the plant to better utilize nutrients / water

However when grafting your exposing the plant to potential diseases, Now if one gets a diseases they will most likely all get it.  Multi-graft fruit tress are prone to these problems as such their almost never used commercially


  I love grapes when I can beat the birds to them . . .
 The wild ones are weedy hear, but rarely fruit since they are never pruned, but when you luck out and find one their out of this world
