Owner's comments

I read on the internet about the macoun apple. I ordered some scion wood to graft. I grafted the wood onto an m9 rootstock, which is a big mistake! It just will grow a few centimetres per year. This year I took some a cutting from this small leprechaun tree and grafted it onto an M4 which will give a 85% tree when grown without pruning. The cutting or better, the graft has been taken. Meanwhile the 'old' macoun apple 'tree' is begun to bear some apples. I'm very curious about it's taste.
