They took they took! Alright, so these photos are from a few weeks ago--but look! Our trees took!In March we had the chance to help graft apple trees for the orchard we visit. It's an exercise that requires a lot of faith--from what seems like little more than two twigs, a tree. The thin cambium layers of the scion and rootstock managed to find each other despite our unsure (sometimes downright wavy) cuts. I'm just amazed. I was going to talk about the process, but realized that nobody is going to go out and start grafting based on directions from this blog, so I won't bore you. But I do have some photos of the process and the orchard in spring!
