Well of the 7 surviving G.214 2nd year trees; 4 have developed swollen knot like areas at the graft union. And 2 days ago the Wickson Crab tree snapped off.

 

The union itself looks like a mix of bark-y scar tissue with streaks of cambium. There is no heart wood structure at all.

 

Has anyone else found this in Geneva or other rootstock? An Incompatibility problem???

NO that's terrible. Wickson is probably my favorite crab apple, so sad news about that too.
