Thanks,

yes you can but the ones that I have already grafted won't be re-grafted to desease tolerant root stock - but i will show how its done here later as i grow some new plants. I ain't to concerned about making my first batch 2014 plants disease tolerant. But the 2nd wave of grafts will most likely will (as we all know disease starts to hit a little later in to the season). I'd grow the the disease tolerant root stock first and let the plants get large enough to graft the (multi grafted scions) later. Atleast that is the plan. When i graft i don't use any humidity chambers and such. So the recovery time is much faster.
