I have a crab-apple tree that I planted with the full intent to experiment with (its an ornamental type). Now that I have a few apples on other trees I want to try my hand at grafting, but I have NEVER done this before.
I have 5 other apple trees to pull from and I have no preference on how or the like.....I need to know how to do it so a rookie can have success with it. I do think I would like to start with branches......cutting off the entire top of the tree and trying a few for the first time scares me to death. My "franken tree" has been in the ground for a few years now so it is established and I don't think that will be an issue.
Oh - pictures, lots of pictures. You won't offend me by talking slow.......
