I think that if you read your citations you will find that there is
no apple
fruiting scion, stem, or rootstock involved in the "fruit salad"
trees
offered for sale. The advertising copy on your sites says . . .
""Sugar-Sweet, Big-as-Apples Red Plums". That's not an apple.

My last message in this discussion was a work in progress that I
thought I had deleted.....hit the "send" button instead, I guess.

The fruit they say the tree produces are plums, necterines, peaches
and
apricots. Not apples.

Yep. And so far, I haven't found any references that suggest anything
other than differing varieties of apples can be grafted onto an apple
tree.

Note also that they will not ship these puppies to
Arizona, California, Oregon, or Washington. For good reason.

Um.....o.k.

Your original statement had plum and cherry grafted "easily" to
apple. And
that just ain't done AFAIK.

Well, my memory of what I saw more than forty years ago could
certainly be faulty. I may pursue the matter a bit further when I get
home this evening. Rest assured that if I find anything you will hear
about it.
