Thanks, Keith. Grafting sounds intimidating, but it's really super-easy. The first time I ever attempted it, I made a dozen grafts onto pear trees and every single one of them took. Apples and pears are pretty easy, but citrus and stone fruit are even more forgiving--they'll accept different species, which is where those 40-variety Frankentrees come from. There's no need to spend big bucks to buy a pre-made Frankentree when you can graft one yourself if you're patient.
