Could somebody identify whether the sprout is from the scion or root stock?

Hello,

I have two grafted Indian gooseberries and even after 2 months of buying them, the sprouts have never come from the scion part. Much of the scion has dried. I bought them in order to have a Bonsai with fruits in a year or two.

1) Could you please identify whether the sprouts (the one from the scion) are useful?

2) If they are not useful, which is what I think, should I be discarding the plants or could they be useful as rootstocks for grafting at a later stage?

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!Indian_gooseberry resized.jpgIndian_gooseberry1 (1).jpg
 
Your camera has focussed on the pot behind instead of the stem so it's a bit hard to be sure of what I'm seeing.
I'm pretty confident the second pic shows a shoot well above possible grafts.

The red circle is the most likely graft. Looks very much like a cleft graft.
The blue circle is possibly a graft but not as likely as the lower area.
There is one spot above the sprout shown that's possibly a bud union but more likely the top of the scion.

The first photo is just too unclear to hazard a guess on where it might be grafted.

Okay. Thanks Shibui. I will post a better snap tomorrow.
