I need some advice on fruit trees that I've recently purchased off e-bay (I know, I know 
) The seller claims that the trees are quality stock from a specialist fruit nursery.
I've ordered a number of fruit trees including a few apple trees growing on M27 root stock and a cherry tree growing on Gisele rootstock, amongst other things.
All stock is guaranteed to be true to name.
The issue I have is that I can't see any obvious grafting points on these trees. I'm no expert but every fruit tree I have ever bought (which is quite a few) always have an obvious graft union.
The question is, has anyone else ever bought fruit trees where the grafting point isn't easy to see? I've contacted the seller who claims that the trees are root grafted so the grafting union won't be obvious. Is this a new grafting technique because I can't find any information about this technique. Hoping someone in the community will be able to shine some light on the subject
Thanks in advance
