You could post it to alt.binaries.pictures.gardens and put a link here?


Jellybean,

Sticking these branches of apple wood will not in start a new tree. If it
would,
you would not get a dwarf tree anymore. The only choice is to hope the tree
stays alive long enough to get some dormant (no leaves opening yet) branches
and graft them onto a dwarfing rootstock. If grafting is not an option, then
you
will have to buy new trees. For goodness sakes, put some wire mesh aroung the
trunks of all your fruit trees to prevent this occuring in the future.

I'm sorry. My response was supposed to be to the guy about his worm
pictures. I don't know what happened. I think I will blame in on the
software.
