my first graft

I started some crab apple and regular apple trees from seed last year. They grew pretty well. I want to. Graft some different varieties on them. If they r starting to leaf out now. Is it to late to try
 
I doubt it's too late it - wouldn't hurt to try.
 
thanks
 
So far so good. 6 out of 10 showing life. 5 apple.

So far I'm good on 1 enterprise 2 gold rush. 1 Viola crab and 1 winter wildlife. I'm 5 out of 8 on apple. And. 2 out of 4 on pears. I'm leaving for a week. On wed. When I get back. The grafts that are not showing signs. I will re graft and try again
 
Nice Jerred
 
Good deal, it's always nice to see them start growing.
 
will post pics tomorrow but the extra 4 apple grafts i did are showing signs of life, very happy so far
 
Out of the 12 root stock I purchased. I have 7 out of 8 apples that are growing well. And one that has one bud that is turning green. So technically I'm 7 for 8 as of rt now. And 4 for 4. On the pears. 2 of them are growing well. And the other 2 are pretty far behind. But buds have broken.20160507_083423.jpg
 
And I'm 4 for 4 on the last grafts (the seeds I grew from last year are the root stock) well at least I'm counting it so far. All 4 have multiple buds breaking
