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.

There are techniques for grafting where the donor graft remains on its
parent until long after you have confirmed that the graft has taken. This
might be recommended for someone who is new to grafting. Buy a potted
young tree so you can sit the pot alongside the tree you want to graft to.

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?

regards Loretta
