Say you have three plants and you want to graft three into one. plant A plant B and plant C You use plant B as your pumpkin producing plant and plants A and C you graft into the main vine of Plant B. I have heard of people doing this by cutting a peice out of plant B and some how grafting A and C into the main ving of B How does a grower do this with out damaging the plants and keep diseases out? Will this work? Will Plants A and C bring more water and nutients to plant B?

Marco, very interesting read, thanks for posting that.



Would you think the younger smaller vines(about the diameter of a pencil that are grafted together would they have a better chance of growing and maturing together to pass nutrients and water to the pumpkin , verses using 2 larger almost mature vines that are grafted together?

I'm probably wrong on this because I don't know much about grafting yet when it comes to pumpkins, but It just seems the bigger the vines that are grafted together is that they do seem to seal together like glue after a period of time and do seal, But is there really that much water or nutrients that pass through the exact spot of where the vines was grafted at? I really dont think so unless the vines are grafted together at a very very young age?
