While my Achilles is grafting itself back together, so too are these apple trees. These are on a semi dwarfing rootstock. There is a person in town with a very old seedling summer apple tree. It is very old and declining. I offered to help save the tree as the owner told me it produces very good tasting apples that are very sweet. It is a July apple so I am sure it will not keep but I am excited to see that it looks like these grafts took. The old tree I took the scion wood from was so unvigorous I had to use old branch tips as the scion wood not the recommended one year old vigorous wood that is ideal for grafting.
