Went out to discover that rabbits had girdles 15-20 apples trees.  2
feet of snow took them to a level above the guards.  Most were 2-5 years
old. I've read about bridge grafting.  Is it reasonable to try it on
trees this size.  Is that something that could be done here (zone 4)
now, or wait a while?  Any suggestions on references appreciated. Are
water sprouts reasonable for this use?
    Also, does anyone know if Bear Creek Nursery still in business? I
haven't gotten a   catalog, or  response to e-mail.  Can anyone suggest
other nurseries that deal in heirloom varieties?  I am familiar with
Miller, Cummins,Big Horse, So. Meadow,  Christian Homesteading, but
liked Bear Creek.  Thanks,
Jim Donovan
