experimental apple grafts from 2022, finally caged. a year ago they were a rabbit’s lunch and now have recovered, maybe 12” of growth this summer. these are on saskatoon which I expect to dwarf them, no one seems to know if it’s compatible as an apple rootstock. for new grafts I start at shoulder height to be above the browse line.
