Biz:
The Ottawa rootstocks were grafted with a
different varieties just above the ground line. These varieties formed the
leader and one of the lower arms and carried on as the leader for at least one
more level. The leaders at some point were usually changed to a different
variety. Grafts were not made at heights corresponding to the wire height.
Usually an arm was allowed to form from the leader and then cut off and replaced
with a splice graft or bark graft. Grafting has been done in spring after the
bark begins to slip. Pollination has never been a concern as there is always
more than one variety in bloom and the neighborhood is full of flowering crabs.
My original plan was just to have a few varieties to cover the complete season
but the plan changed as I heard or read about varieties with different flavours
or something special. Some varieties have not worked out so I am in the process
of changing some of the arms. I am sure I'll be wanting a few more
varieties.
I don't have pictures of the apple trees
but here is a pear tree. The first is taken the winter before last and the next
is taken last summer.
