Default Grafting Quince onto Hawthorn ? will it be compatible
The message
from contains these words:

One of the disagreements between horticulturalists and
botanists was whether Malus and Pyrus should be one genus or two.
The former claimed two, because they are graft-incompatible.

I don't know where the Craetagus/Pyracantha/etc. group fits in; it
might be closer to Pyrus.

Might Pyracantha/Pyrus be a clue?
