I planted three baby apple trees last spring. One is a golden russet
on G30, which I bought because I wanted to try out G30, and that was
what was available. (A single tree is cheaper than a bundle of
rootstock, and besides, I find it hard to throw live plants away.)
So I'd like to graft some Karmijn onto that tree. I was thinking I'd
try budding this summer. Any advice would be welcome, including
"don't do it, graft a branch", or "G30 is ultrasensitive to viruses
and you shouldn't mess with it", or just suggestions as to the best
time of year and technique.
Thanks,

where an abnormally warm dry spring has the crabs showing flower buds
and the eating apples in green tip already.
