Teaching grafting at Boyer’s Orchard
Permacultureandpolitics, 1 month ago to random Mystery apple with missing tag. I’m almost positive it is a zabergau reinette, but have only gotten 1 apple off it so far. I am tempted to graft a known zabergau scion onto it and compare. #grafting. #apples #orchard

radicalxstitch, 10 months ago to permaculture Successful graft from last year looking good. When we bought this place there were a heap of unidentified fruit trees in a total unkept state. I've been slowly pruning them back and thinning them out. Last year I started grafting on some that were weedy plums. Great to see some success! Will try some more this year after I've thinned a few more trees out. #grafting #FruitTrees #orchard #permaculture #StartWithWhatYouveGot #TreeMagic

urbanmicrofarmer, 1 year ago to random Last month I took cuttings from 17 old apple trees growing in an abandoned poor farm orchard. My goal is to identify the varieties that were planted about 100 yrs ago. (See post from March 20 for more info.) About 2 weeks ago, I grafted cuttings onto rootstock. Today I planted these little trees at a friend's farm. Back-ups are always good, so I also grafted onto a vigorous young tree at my urban microfarm. These branches should start bearing fruit in 3 or 4 yrs. #apples #grafting #orchard Recently grafted apple trees inside a large plastic storage bin--an orchard in a box! A red grafting knife for scale (approx 4 inches long). Roots of the rootstocks are covered in soil. Small cuttings are attached to the tops of the rootstock. The graft unions are wrapped in plastic tape.
