Has anyone tried grafting other prunus species onto prunus ilicifolia (hollyleaf cherry/evergreen cherry) rootstock? I don’t have high hopes and am not sure if grafting a deciduous scion onto an evergreen rootstock would present issues, but it’s native and ubiquitous where I live so I’m interested to try (and probably will!)

I have wondered the same. Might work, or might work with some sort of interstem. I think prunus ilicifolia is more distant than other plums but worth a shot. I also wonder about breeding with it. High seed to flesh ration though
