Don't know if this is an answer, but I have had apple trees that I bought
that didn't blossom for over eight years.

Hello,



Is it possible to take a scion from an apple tree, graft it to rootstock and
never see a blossom?



The first scion I ever collected, I grafted to a wild dwarf rootstock in 1999
and it has never produced a single blossom. The tree is doing well, is a
good size and other trees I have grafted after it have blossomed and had
fruit.



This makes me wonder... If you took a scion from a water sprout, would you
ever get apples? I do not remember now what I took for a scion then, I was a
newbie.



Looking at the tree this spring for nice fat buds that might contain flowers,
and I see none (again).



Any thoughts?



Tom
