Major sinkage on this grandi rootstock just in the past week. No signs of rot that I can find and the scion is healthy. I’ve read a few threads that seem to think this behavior is relatively benign but I would like to ask if it would be good to degraft completely now. Or if I cut the pup off to release the weight build up, if that could be a viable solution too. The scion is getting pretty big already and the plan was to let this one flourish on this graft indefinitely, so I imagine getting bigger is only going to exacerbate the sinking. Also the grandi has a colored flower so I would prefer to save it too. Swipe for close up pic.
Thank you for your help

I sure hope it’s benign, most of mine do that. I let them get fairly dry in between, and I think that’s why. The ones that stay a bit more damp seem to not sink as much.
Should be fine lol here’s a couple of mine that pump just fine
