Dave, here is my way of doing it... I know it is 
different from most other suggestions, but this 
works for me. Here there are many wild seedlings 
that grow naturally everywhere around. So I 
choose a nice one, about 6 ft high, and if 
necessary, transplant it to where I want this 
standard apple tree (but most often, I just leave 
the seedling just where it is growing). When it 
is time to graft, I cut it at chest height and 
graft the scion there. This is the fastest way I have found yet to get a tree.
