the great brandywine sudduth production controversy

[Gimme3]

I think Fusion is onto some Truth, but theres more to it, yet to understand.

In 2004, i grafted Brandywine onto Maxifort, an what Fusion is saying...is true. These plants blew my mind, having struggled with BW's the 2 years preceding. In '04, i was givin away basket loads of Beautiful BW's. An these grafted plants did not slow down, thruout the Whole Summer.

In 2005, seekin to do even better, i tried a new way to graft, that didnt work well, for me (decapitation of rootstock)....so i was unable to duplicate the '04 results. This spring, i never had time, to get back into it. Hopefully, Spring 07 will be calm enough to try an reproduce the BW results i have seen w/my own two eyes, in '04.

I have personally seen several grafted BW's yield easily...50 nice fruits, each. The idea that a larger root system can supply the plant w/more nutrition....dovetails...w/what Fusion is saying, and it Totally makes sense...here...))) When those plants started settin fruit, they set clusters...2 an 3 on a stem, an showed no inhibition on any flowering stems.
