I've been busy cutting scion wood to ship to other grafting "addicts" and pruning the trees to make them grow into the shape I want them to. Any branches growing toward the center of the tree or rubbing other branches must be removed. You need light and air to reach the center of the tree for good health and good fruit.

Black Oxford scionwood. An old Maine variety that ripens late in the season. Beside being a fine eating and cooking apple it makes a good wildlife apple, hanging on the tree into the winter months. The scionwood must be cut from one year old branches to ensure a successful graft.
