Wow, that is a lot of trees, and many I recognize as very good choices. Priscilla, Black LT and Liberty are three of the best performing apples I've ever grown.

Will you plant all of those yourself? Will they go in a wildlife planting or an orchard setting?

I'm top working apples, pears and persimmons this year. I'm not grafting any rootstocks. The trees I'm grafting are some wild pears and some apples that I want to change over to more desirable varieties.

BV did you ever pm Merle your address he has your Freyburg and liberty Scion but last I talked to him no address.
 
dang--that's a lot of grafting friend. It does become addicting. Just something about taping a stick to a root stock and watching it succeed and grow. I have about 30 trees to graft this year and will also be doing a little in field apple and persimmon grafting.

The granny smith scion i got from you is rockin on M7 at my house Todd. My infatuation started in 2015 when you helped push my off the cliff. Part of this is your fault.

Cannon pearmain through Shockley I'm taking a chance not sure on the disease resistance. My wife seen this list and asked if I could join AA apples anonymous. She thinks I have problems I just enjoy it.
 
I was planning on grafting some persimmon scions to existing trees this year but the scions got lost in the mail. When I finally got them they were all moldy. Maybe net year.
 
Don't mean to hijack this thread but I have a quick question for ya'll experienced grafters. Last year I bought some pear and plum rootstock from Cummins. I planted them in Rootmaker pots, and as many people often do, I got extremely busy last spring and never got around to grafting onto them. So this past weekend, I took all of the rootstocks and planted them in one of my large footplots (I already have about 20 large trees planted there). I intend to graft onto these rootstocks in the field. Would it be better to allow these rootstocks to grow one more year in the field before I graft, or should I go ahead and graft onto them this spring? If I grafted them in mid-April they would have about 2 months to get settled, otherwise they would have a full year if I waited. They had an extremely good fibrous root system since I grew them in Rootmaker pots for a year.

I've never field grafted, but my intuition is to do it this year. When you graft a regular scion / rootstock, the rootstock comes bareroot with usually a pretty small root system, so I think you'd be better than that at the very least.
 
This isn't this years graft list, but was my selection from a couple years ago. Got most of them from Maple Valley Orchard I think. Most were on B118 and some on Antonovka rootstock. Go big or go home :)

I just assumed that by giving the rootstock a year to really take hold in the field, it would allow for a faster growing graft with a higher success rate, simply because the roots are already in place. I might try to graft a few and let the rest take root until next spring and graft them then, just for my own curiosity. Plus that would give me more time to find some new varieties to get scions for.

If you got something you wanna graft do it this year if not it won't hurt to wait you just may have to change how you graft at that time.
