Dear Mr.
Olenio, For being able to answer your question, one must
know: 1. What is the objective of this
grafting. 2. What is the graft
combination.
Hello,
I plan on grafting apple to apple, but did not mention it, not wanting to
offend those that dislike apple posts, but wanting their input.
The tree I am going to use as a framework is a 7-10 year old sucker, that
is now a well branched tree. The tree is of unknown apple variety, will
be standard in size, and has yet to flower. I have Freedom, Court
Pendu Plat, and Fameuse to use as scions.
I was curious what the proper technique would be to graft only a branch,
and not replace the rest of the tree. With the apple trees unknown
variety, it may make a good apple "collection" frame.
Regards,
Tom
