Making a family tree: three sorts of apple on one tree: (l to r) Devonshire Quarrenden, Claygate Pearmain, Tom Putt.




Below:
(1) Laxton's Fortune on MM106; whip & tongue graft, tape just removed. Tree will reach 8 ft and after a few years will have about 50lbs of apples annually.

(2) Trained tree, goblet form. These trees are easy to make and maintain if you learn how to graft. This one has 5 different varieties, and is really a showpiece - but the goblet form is good for a tree with just a single variety; it's accessible and the fruit are low, so if apples fall off, they don't bruise.
