This info is buried in the forum somewhere. Adam sent me guaquiea and strigipes scions to graft onto Glazioviana, I believe because that had worked for him. My grafts failed.
I doubt Rumberry will not suffer from delayed incompatibility onto Sabara, but time will tell.
Seedlings don't pop up for sale here that often , though it is not that rare.
I had bad germination rates and no luck digging up suckers from the 100's of seedlings under a giant Rumberry planted in the 1930's!
While Adam was spewing a lot of nonsense, filming himself harassing his USPS delivery driver and showing off the Adam's apples of his dates ,
I would like to say a lot of people really like raising chickens and going skateboarding. I don't think either of those hobbies are well described as nonsense .
I grafted a few onto sabara and they all took for now.
Based on what I've heard of Adam Shafran's experience, grafting Myrciarias onto Sabara rootstock is hit-or-miss depending on the species. But, if you have the rootstock and the scions, it never hurts to experiment. Without some growers experimenting and succeeding (or failing), we would all have a lot less knowledge of what can and cannot be grown. Here's to your experiment being a success.
W,
what myrciarias did Adam mention? I don't recall him mentioning them before.
I heard of someone trying glazioviana to edulis, but it didn't work out. I mean plinia and myrciaria is vastly different, but the rumberry looked just like a plinia leading me to try to graft it.
I seem to remember him talking about grafting difficulties with guaquiea and strigipes. He had tried grafting them on a few different things, and they did not take on everything. I think glazioviana might have been mentioned as having the same characteristic, as well. I'm not 100% positive about that, though. This information came from one of his live streams from a couple of years ago, and I could be recalling things incorrectly. I went through a period during that time where I was watching a lot of his live streams. At least 95% of those streams were completely useless, inane drivel about chickens and skateboarding and other nonsense. But, that 5% of the stream where he actually talked about growing Plinias and other plants was an absolute gold mine of information and made up for the rest of the nonsense. I wish I had taken some notes or made some clips from those live streams. They're still on YouTube, but there's probably a thousand of them; way too many to comb through to get that 5% of expert Plinia knowledge.
