Just a couple of points.
Harvey, when you graft plants and using the same rootstock, do you put out several of the same variety, half grafted and half not, in the same season so that you can make direct comparisons? I'm a BIG fan of controls.
Marla, I know there's another grafting thread or two around here and in one of them I mentioned Dr. David Francis of Ohio State who, after using several kinds of rootstocks, some he said were better for outside growing and some for inside growing, and presumably the latter as to prodution and the outside ones for disease tolerances.
But he highly suggested using Celebrity as root stock, and without doing some peeking around I would guess primarily for outside growing although honestly, I don't remember right now.
