200 Apple Trees

So, the next part of our journey starts.

200 Apple root stocks.  150 seedling Antonovka and 50 MM 111 semi-dwarfs.  Some of the Antonovka will be allowed to just grow into their own trees.  14 for me, 10 for my friend David for his start on an orchard, and 10 for my friend the Adickes for their start on an orchard.  The rest of them are getting grafted into something else.  For the MM 111 I will set up 10 for “stooling” which you can google as far as creating more root stock.  3 will go to another friend who wants to do just that for making his own, and the remaining I will graft onto.

box was about 10X20x30.  24 pounds.

That is what it looked like first opened.

Might do a posting on the grafting side of things.  Will have to see how it goes.  Knowing how to do a thing, and being proficient at a thing, are two vastly different things.
