So I currently have 37 trees ( of 28 different varieties) in my tree/food plot, very few of which have fruited (oldest tree planted in Fall 2021). I need to do some pruning in the next few weeks. Is it worth it to save the scion from pruning and make several of my larger trees Frankentrees or just wait to see how they produce before I wield the grafting knife? Here’s a list of the trees I have:
10 point, 30-06, #5 Crab, Antonovka, Big Dog, Buckeye Gala, Crossbow, Droptine, Ed’s Crazy Crab, Eliza’s choice, Enterprise, Golden Hornet, Grey Ghost, Harrison, Hewe’s Crab, Jonagold, Macoun, Roadkill Crab, Ruby Rush, Sheepnose, Turning Point, Wickson, Wolf River.
Any combos you all would suggest (ie graft this to this?)
Note: not all the trees are big enough to prune yet…Just throwing some ideas around..thanks!!
