Nice.

What varieties of apples have you planted?

2 Winesaps that I bought and 8 that I grafted onto M111 rootstock from a very old apple tree from my grandparents farm, it always had small, green/yellow/slightly pink on top very sweet apples and the parent tree always had a crop even growing up at a higher elevation,,, When these apples were ripening and dropping you could smell that sweet apple smell from 100 yards away. I should be getting apples within 2-3 years now

Love a good apple tree. Grafting is a art I would like to learn at some point. Best of luck with the trees.

Grafting is actually pretty darn easy,,, keeping the tree alive afterwards is the hard part! Flathead borers have killed several for me, pretty much all of my first planting before I realized they were such a problem.
