Just so you know...the problem with multi graft is that you will get pollen contamination. You will not get the true fruit of the variety you grafted.I use a multi graft tree to hold my scions until I get good root stocks.

Pollen contamination? Are you saying that pollen origin influences fruit type on cherimoyas? That the only way to get true to type fruit from a given cultivar is to separate the cultivars/prevent cross pollination?I ask because I was supposed to multigraft today but got distracted with my persimmons instead. Would be helpful to know before I start tomorrow.KQuote from: Seanny on February 10, 2018, 11:19:28 PMJust so you know...the problem with multi graft is that you will get pollen contamination.

I mean a Cumbe branch that receives polen from another cv still will produce Cumbe cherimoyas, right?
A couple of different races make a baby of a third race. Fruits are the same.When you take pollen from one branch to pollinate flower on a different branch you would affect the fruit produced. You could prevent this if you limit pollen of one variety to pollinate only flower of the same variety. It would be hard to collect pollen since there are so little flowers on a branch.There are people whom don't like to hand pollinate annona. They use a fan to pollinate. If your multi grafted is in a windy area, there is a chance for pollen contamination.However, don't let this stop you from having multi grafted tree. Right now I have bi grafted trees and one multi grafted. I'm out of space.

I mean a Cumbe branch that receives polen from another cv still will produce Cumbe cherimoyas, right?Well, I found this paper that explains pseudo-xenic effects using different polens between more common Annona species: http://hortsci.ashspublications.org/content/42/7/1534.full
Seanny - yeah it cant stop me. Will see how it turn out. What happenned to your grafted tree? Did you ever get fruit from it?Gozp - let just say it's not grafted. It's possible to get pollen contamination from neighbors, right?
