Can anyone recommend a good guide to grafting book?
Also has anyone had success with crab apples? Would like to get a few crabs, and also have one in my yard that produces nicely, that would be nice to put at my hunting property
X100 to what everyone said. I tried bark/rind grafting this year and had almost 100% success. The only resources I had were from the google machine, stephen hayes videos, and the helpful folks on here. As far as the different types of grafts, I'd say look online or ask around on here to figure out which graft is the best type for your situation (e.g. do you already have trees, or are you trying to bench graft?).
Thanks for the tips guys. I'm from south central Pennsylvania. I'll get my profile updated and try to get up some pictures. I have 5 trees in the ground so far, I'd really like to try and graft some nice trees in my area and possibly this crab in my yard. Also considering buying a few nice crabs, would like to do a fall planting. Is grafting best done in spring?
This clearing I've planted the liberty and gold rush. I have cleared this out a lot more since the picture and knocked down some trees. It gets pretty good sunlight until later in the day. I also want to add a crab here. Deer already cross through here pretty good, just giving them a better reason.
