Delayed graft incompatibility and possible remedies

The thread on durian tip die back made me think it is worthwhile elevating graft incompatibility to a thread. It is a condition not always acknowledged and often blamed on other causes. Sickness, small leaves, canker. lack of vigor and an early death are symptoms in some species. Nurse grafts and extra attached rootstocks can prevent problems.

It is not always to do with a lack of relatedness, unmatched speed of growth between rootstock and scion or the types of graft.The attached article is one person's experience with this problem.
