Does anyone out there know of any old apple trees growing around here? I mean really old, like from trees of a hundred years ago. They would be probably on abandoned homesteads or where those homesteads were. I started an apple tree from seed and it was from apples that tasted terrible. What I want to do is cut some scions from the ancient trees and graft them onto my tree so it will produce tasty apples. Trouble is, I don't have much time, my tree has leaves budding already and the tree should be dormant so I'm gambling but want to give it a try. Today's apples are tasteless, from GM, hybridizing and chemical fertilizers. I love apples but don't even bother to buy them because they are so bad. Can anyone help me?
