My semi-dwarf apple trees were bought by a local nursery as were my
semi-dwarf cherries trees. I'm hoping to have some fruit next year on
both.

The seeds I planted and actually grew (not a natural green thumber)
were all from decades old trees....at least 50 years old or older. They
just don't make em like this any more and I'm old enough to know
that....so since they're growing anyway, I'll just wait and see what
happens.

Who knows....maybe nothing. But it's worth the try.


Maybe you should market those seeds, or seedlings?

Not a bad idea. Was in touch with a company that
wanted a branch from an old 75+ year King apple
tree. Oh how I loved those apples as a child.

I'll think about your idea....who knows!
