Hello everybody,
I was half watching the show last week, and they were visiting an orchard and talking about heritage apples and pruning etc. Then the head gardener, an old chap, made a very interesting suggestion about growing apple trees.
He said that if you take a cutting, and simply pus 1/3 of it down into the soil, it will root and grow - simple as that!!
I've looked everywhere online to try to watch it again, but it's not on iPlayer or anywhere else.
I've ordered some rootstocks and will have a go at grafting in the spring, but I am wondering if anybody has had success using the method above?
Cheers.
