 SOO I have this apple dream.....I am looking for some good info and sources for BUD 9 rootstock. I have a hill on my lot in Menomonie Wisconsin that I have a dream of someday having a bunch of flowering apple trees on. The hill slopes east to west with a slight taper to the south. My thought is to graft 25 trees a year for the next 3 years. I have a sprinkler system that I would run a bubbler to each tree. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: SOO I have this apple dream..... Start grafting this year to get good at it. You'll get better at it every year.
Check the soil, and amend it to where it is 1/2 way in between the best soil you could imagine for that tree and what you've got all around it. John S PDX OR |
