Well I finally got to grafting the apple rootstock I ordered and I probably did it all wrong but I went with what I had. The only graft I could attempt was the whip and tongue graft because of the size of the rootstock. I am hoping both will take but I would be happy for just one to take and then I can graft other varieties later. I will post pics soon and you can maybe give me some sugesting before I go and graft the rest to my uncles tree.
