Jake Holloway informed me about this phenomenon called graft induced hybridization. It is so crazy I couldn't believe it when I looked it up. All I can say is Wow!
Some food for thought, Jake thinks we are likely ruining our giant watermelon seed lines to some extent because of this phenomenon. It certainly is possible. In the very least we really don't know how what we are doing is affecting our giant melon seed genetics... good or bad. I figured I would pass this information along, Thanks Jake for bringing this idea to my attention.
