Moved to new thread because it was way off topic in the original one

I'm starting with apples rather big this year, found a very cheap source for both rootstock and a good selection of cultivar scions.

I received the scions yesterday and is going to start grafting tomorrow and expect to get at least the 9 trees where the rootstock was planted last autumn done, though I still have a bit of planning to do to decide which of the 14 types I received that are going on those 9.

The rest are going on trees that won't get permanent homes until later and on an existing tree that hasn't been bearing any fruit for a couple of years, so I'm trying to renew it by cutting it down to the major branches and grafting new scions on all of them.

I picked the varieties to get as wide a spread of ripening times as possible and think I've managed to cover 11 months of the year for edible apples, my original goal was an apple a day all year round

Anyone here who has tried grafting apples before who has any advice?
