Let me re-state the question:
How best does one create a standard apple tree?
Dave Liezen

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.
