Hi
I've been grafting for some time - mostly apples but some pears and plums as well (but have had no luck at all with cherries). Anyway, I have an Issai kiwiberry (self fertile). that I thought it might be fun to graft a male and a red female onto. I can easily source scions for Scarlet September, but haven't found much information about it. Ken's Red seems to be a popular variety to buy as a plant, but I haven't found a ready source of scions for it.
so my questions are
- does anyone here have any experience of either or both and how do they compare?
- Has anyone here grafted onto an Issai?
- does the yield/fruit set improve on an Issai if it's got a male nearby?
