They were starting to break bud, so I planted a few without grafting.  |

 I have more confidence in roots like thesr versus the Antanovka or B 118 roots that I see. |

 This is light sandy soil with a low pH so I amend the soil. Rotted would chips are in the bucket. Two hunted yards to the east is about two feet of heavier black soil. I don’t amend the soil at all over there. |

  Done. Most of my dolgo seedlings show very little CAR so I might be ok this close to the cedars. I passed the rest of the dolgo rootstock on to some younger guys. |

Where did you buy the dolgos from? Those are nice looking seedlings.

They are sold out, but he has dolgo rootstock listed for $2.70 each. I might have to make a note of that and give them a try next year at that price.

I keep waiting for my Dolgo tree to produce fruit. I'd like to grow a few seedlings and see what they produce

It doesn’t get as much sunshine as it should though. It was planted in 2013. I grafted it in 2014. It sure looks like it's got a bunch of flower buds this year, but only time will tell. That tree gets nearly all day sun. |

It had at least two apples as they were hanging when I pruned in February. |
