I wanted to start my own thread on own root apples trees. I don’t like grafting due to the time and effort involved just for them to die upon transplanting. Thought I would share some pictures of a grimes golden I t budded summer of 2017. I put a small pot around it and put sawdust around it until it rooted and transplanted it yesterday. I will essentially make a stool bed with the one I moved and have unlimited grimes golden without grafting every year. I plan to try and get several varieties rooted next year so I will have several stool beds. I also will try other species too like persimmons but don’t know if I’ll add it to this thread or not.
