Thank you for your detailed response @oscar .

I have never grafted pear to quince before. As long as you use a known compatible variety of pear, is the success rate about the same as with pear to pear grafts? or is grafting pear to quince more finicky and prone to higher failure rates?

I think all my Euro and oriental pear grafts took last year. I have 5 Quince C on order, so Iā€™m hoping it is as equally cooperative. Keeping my fingers crossed. :crossed_fingers:

in my experience if using compatible varieties grafting on quince has same success rates as on pyrus. Even with incompatibly varieties i expect decent take. The incompatibility is often delayed.
