 o
Tart graft to sweet cherry?

I have an unknown cherry that has never done well and was winter damaged last year to boot. It has vigorous new growth from a point about 30" above ground and seems a good candidate for a bark graft next spring. I have several sour cherry variants I could get grafts from but wonder if the grafts care if host tree is sweet or sour cherry.

Apologies if this is a dumb question; I am very new to grafting.

thx in advance for help.

I would try,..don't see why it shouldn't work.

We normally graft either to Colt rootstock or Gisela if you can get it, so it seems plausible.
