Thank you!, No fertilizer other than if there was some in the potting mix, and no fertilizer since planting, the tree is planted in a ladino clover plot converted to an orchard, that might have something to do with the fast growth.

Thank you, my process was that i stratified the seeds in the refrigerator in wet sawdust, then grew the tree in a small pot for one season, the next spring i planted the tree and used a tube for one year before switching to a cage. The seeds were from a local roadside apple tree, greyphase and i...
An apple tree that i started from seed 4 or 5 years ago is going to have some blossoms this year, much sooner than i was expecting! This is one of two seedling trees that i have let grow, all others have been topworked.

I am going to try a stool bed with 3 mm111 rootstocks that I planted last spring, at what stage do I cut the original trees off, at bud break? Before bud break? Should I cut them off flush or a few inches above the ground?
Thank you!
