I have some questions concerning patented varieties of apples. The questions
are
related to handling patented varieties (patented by others) without getting
into
trouble with the law or the patent holder. I was hoping that one of you can
provide me some insight and answers to these questions, and perhaps other
related
questions that I have not considered.

1. Can I take a scion from a tree I own and graft it onto another tree I own?
2. Can I give a patented scion to another homeowner?
3. How do I determine if the tree (named variety) is patented?

Thanks in advance for you wisdom and guidance.
Steve
