Let’s honour that old apple tree,
select the best berry bushes for your yard,
or plant a food forest for the neighbourhood children.
For example:
A bud of a chosen variety is spliced onto rootstock.
The bud is sealed with a special tape and an elastic to hold it in place and allow for cellular fusion.
Next spring, the bud leafs out and grows up into a new tree.
Varietes available for custom order:
Apple: Sabina, Gold Rush, Roxbury Russet, Florina, Akane, Mutsu, Cortland, Empire, Tangowine, Patten Greening, Macoun, Jonagold, Milwaukee, Liberty.
Plum: Mt. Royal, Shiro, Burbank, Toka, Brookgold, Damson, Italian
Peach: Harrow Diamond, Reliance, Frost
Sour cherry: Evans
Sweet cherry: Windsor
An example of topworking:
Here a damaged pear tree was cut to below the damage, and two new pear scions are grafted; the one that grows the best will be selected as the new tree.
Two months after grafting, the scion's top bud has put on 2' of growth. It is well on its way to becoming a new tree.
