Grafting Apple Trees Out on the Pasture

In this video we work on grafting a couple apple trees that were not producing to see if we can rejuvenate them by grafting on better varieties. We're adding Honey Crisp and Wilson's apple scions.
We also move the flerd (That's a flock and a herd) of Sheep, Goats, Llama, and Livestock Guardian Dogs to a new paddock and take a look at our Free Choice cafeteria style mineral feeder.
We are proud to announce that we are now a Powerflex Partner. If you are interested in the portable electric fencing materials we use, most of them came from Powreflex Fence and we are very happy with the products and service we've gotten through the years.

This grafting endeavor looks interesting, It'll be fun to see the results. I like watching the flock move to new grass.

Love the video. I hope to do this someday as we have many wild apple trees on our property. I have also grown apple trees from seed. Cheap and easy.

Nice, bringing new varieties into the world! Hope you get some good ones.

Joe. Honey crisp is one of most challenging trees to maintain due to disease. Requires spraying

Thanks for the tip. We'll have to see how it goes because we will not be spraying any pesticides, herbicides, fungicides or other "icides" on this property. Assuming the grafts take, we may find that was the wrong genetics for our situation in which case we'll keep trying new things. On the other hand, I think a lot of what we internalize as "The way things are" is based on a limited set of factors and we may be pleasantly surprised what we're able to produce with holistic management and a healthy population of predatory insects.

I haven't done the wax but I wonder if a small brush would be easier for the application process.

That's a good thought, we'll try that next time.
