Limbertwig interstem

I have found that apple trees with weeping habits are much easier to maintain. Less what sprouts, earlier fruiting etc.
I am wondering if using a limbertwig interstem would work to make trees weep?
Monark also weeps.
Any thoughts?

Probably not…but try it.

I have a fair number of interstem grafted trees, and some of them are Limbertwigs. None are using the Limbertwig cultivar as the interstem piece though, I use primarily BUD9 and/or G41 for that. I’m by no means an expert but do not think that’s a trait passed on to and/or affecting the actual cultivar. Certainly an interesting thought though…
