Hi,

I've been told that most common variety here, Fino de Jete, shows some problems of incompatibility with other cvs. I can't tell much from my experience, aside from that Pierce seems to take better than El Bumpo on Fino de Jete, grafting same day and in the same way (whip and tongue). Have you observed same issues with this cv or others? Maybe Pierce or Cumbe or any other works better than Fino de Jete as interstock/rootstock in your experience.

Thanks

I don't have experience with grafting on fino de jete. I just graft onto the seedling rootstock. On the grafted tree I purchased, I guess things graft pretty well onto 'honeyhart'.

I’ve never heard about graft incompatibility issues with Fino de jete.

If you want a fast growing large tree, I like to use Dr White Seedlings as rootstock

I grafted several Honeyheart cherimoya scions to my Fino de Jete and they took.  Seems to be compatible.

Thank you all for the answers, seems to be a problem with some local cvs then.
