Have any members of the goup had any sucess taking cuttings from old
trees
we have a mature baker (probably Bramley but very heavy cropper) I would
like to propagate. I'd rather it grew on its own rootstock than graft.
I'm
looking to take softwood spurs around May.

Try some hard wood cuttings now, normal method. should get 100% take but
do leave them at least a year before moving them

Thanks Charlie I'll give it a try I was looking at the extra spurs that need
nipping out so thats the choice.

If you have any left the ripened straight shoots from last year make the
best material
