I live in NW PA and there are abandoned
family orchards all over the place. People
tell me that the tree's a Northern Spy or
whatever; Some of these trees are OLD
standard trees, but I never see a graft union
on the trunks. Do the grafts eventually
disappear, or did the scion take over and the
tree "go standard" on them?
