@TehRubiks no.. sorry... I dont

Yes Sir, I do enjoy your video's about grafting as well as the Rat Rods updates. I do have a question about the maximum size of the under stock. I have a tree that is about 10" in dia. it is not a good producer. Would this be a good candidate for grafting.

[1963impala2dr]

@A35pickuptruck if the trunk diameter is 10", you dont want to stump graft it. cut it up in the leaders "primary scaffolds" about 8 inches from the crotch and graft into younger more vigorous wood. If you are talking about apple or pear.. you'll probably have success .. older peaches and cherries are tough.. good luck and thanks for watching!

I've been in Quincy once. I was there to be Best Man for one of my good friends. The wedding was at the bride's dad's house. Really cool place, really cool family. Unfortunately, my friend was thinking of my speech-making ability, and not thinking of the fact that every time I've been asked to be Best Man, it has ended in the couple separating. I'm a jinx. I've been best man 4 times, resulted in 4 divorces. I have a friend who has been married longer than me, his brother was best man. ;)

Looking Good

depends on the variety, the root stock, and farming practices but they can produce about a box of fruit the 3rd or 4th year

[MrBlockhead13]

how long after you graft the tree it will start to produce apples again?

[1963impala2dr]

@phill903 yes, it is VERY hard physical labor.. that is if you are getting good production the way we do. I am sore every day.. its like I've been working out in a gym 12 hrs everyday!  but.. its what we are good at and we love it.

[phill903]

That looks like a big job to graft all those trees. It looks like a grueling job as well.

[1963impala2dr]

@novelist10 yes, we all are worn out, been running hard since feb 20th. BUT, they headed back to CA yesterday and I'll finish my season this week. now I can get back to important things.. like HOT RODS!!! hehe
