I'm wondering if anyone would care to share their insight into the reason
they graft at a chosen height.
When I took my grafting classes, we bud grafted just above the original level
of the dirt so that the graft union would be just above the ground when the
rootstock was planted out in the field. However, I've bought fruit trees
from a nursery in Nova Scotia and their trees were budded a good 8" up the
trunk!
Thanks,
