Thanks for the segue -- if you are interested in grafting prunus (or other
fruit trees), take a look at my article in the Feb '98 issue of National
Gardening Magazine.  It's all about our adventures in grafting fruit trees
and is a good intro into the practice.  We've now got a tree flowering with
about 5 different kinds of  peaches in our yard.  If you want a great
"fruit cocktail tree," the best way to get one is to make it yourself!
(and also the most fun way...)

If you want more info, e-mail me.

         If you want to be happy all your life long become a gardener
