I had success budding in autumn when the bark peeled back easily. If you
have a new tree, it won't fruit properly for a couple of years anyway so it
gives you a bit of time. If you have some seedling apples growing, you can
graft to them.

Hello, we bought a Golden Delicious apple tree yesterday and need to graft
another type of apple onto it to pollinate it, as we only have the one
tree. Is there some particular spot that we would make the graft? And how
big a piece would you suggest the new piece be please?
