Here is the stump that produced Carnegie. It was perfect. The roots went right and the vine went left. A good graft union. But have a look at the tissue just on the watermelon side of the graft union. Do you see how its kind of swirled and non organized? Its this area that gets hurt by the pressure of the rootstock. That swirled area is the hypocotyl of the watermelon scion. My thought for some time now is to graft without the hypocotyl of the watermelon scion, thus eliminating this swirled area. Not sure if that technique would make grafting a sure thing or open another can of worms in another way. This picture shows a lot.
