Who wouldn't want a few apple trees on their property / lease? Well growing a few from 3-4 year old trees you can buy is an option, if they are planted right and cared for. Then in a few more years start to produce. But unlike a foodplot it's a lot more comitment to time. I was talking to a friend at work who has some property and we got into a discussion about grafting. And she has had good luck with it. I found out established Hawthorn, you know the thorn apple or annoying shrub pricker tree you hate to run into - can take grafts from some wild apple, crabapple, and even some pear variety. (ding) So, I'm thinking possibilities; locating a 1/2 dozen of these I would normally avoid, graft them up and trim 3 years off the growing process.
