Fascinating!  I wonder how often new varieties are created at a graft union, and if it's practical at all to purposely try to cross two varieties this way with, say, citrus.   An interesting way to genetically modify plants.

Thanks for sharing the article.

Excellent article, I will start grafting different annona together & tissue cultures the joint to see if this can be duplicated & save a few year in breeding Annona.
