I am in this one the 3rd year. The first year I took a M-111"
Standard full size apple tree rootstock and grafted a B-9 dwarf
onto the 111. The 2nd year I grafted a Gale Gala onto the B-9.
This year the 3rd year I transplanted the tree and this is where
we at now. By doing this I should have the root structure of a
40ft tree but only have about a 8 to 10ft max height tree
should be very strong. Nothing new just my first time trying it.

to it. it grows them apples, wind won't break it, can plant them
along the creek , and the limbs hand the apples right down to
ya. :thumbsup:

My Dad put a LOT of time and effort into his fruit trees and
bees. We do our best with them since he's gone but I know for
SURE it wouldn't suit him. There's 20 odd trees at the house,
different apples, pears, cherry , a plum and a peach. He was a
big believer in grafting to deep roots too. :tip: :tip: to you
for your efforts.

Pete, i got a few new apple trees about that size, but they were
already grafted when i got them... i have one called an
Enterprise dwarf, and one called Arkansas Black Apple. you know
much about either?
i got one i took a pic of a while back, i was gonna ask you guys
about...its got aphids or something on the new leaves on top,
and ants here and there tending to them...i cant tell that its
hurting the tree...but wondered if i could get rid of them.
i'll post the pics on a new thread.
