So a few weeks ago I grabbed an Angel Red pomegranate at a local nursery.
I have notice that one shoot of growth looks entirely different from the rest of the plant. It is taller , straighter, the leaves are larger and the bark looks slighty green instead of just brown. It also is coming straight from the roots and not the main stem.
My question is do nurserys graft pomegranates on to sturdier variety rootstocks and is this a rootstock shoot?
If it is a rootstock shoot can i leave it alone and have two varities on one bush ? Or could it take over ? Thirdly if it is rootstock what variety could it be? It was a monrovia nursery plant if that helps.
Thanks
