So far 2 of the 3 scions are putting out growth. I'm hoping the 3rd gets around to it eventually.
What amount of fruit production can you expect in a year after grafting like that? I have a couple of apple trees on my property that were there before I purchased my home. I'd like to graft more interesting apple varietals than was is currently in place.
Very cool. I wonder what the apples would be like if you propagated new trees from the seeds of your Liberty/Ashmead/Cox Orange Pippen grafted tree. Will this tree be used for cider apples?
Unfortunately, from what I understand, getting a decent apple hybrid from two varieties of apple is extremely rare. Things seem to have to align just right. I think it's like 1 in 5k or something like that.
