morning
I know I am a little early for this request
is anyone in the group, come grafting time, able to supply me with 2 - 3 scions off a "Wisely crab apple" - or even graft for me
The tree we have round here is very old and doesn't produce much new growth. I want to replace it before I loose it altogether.
thanks

All the books and experts say that you should always prune to an outward-facing bud. However, that assumes the tree has read the books. In my experience, as often as not, it’s the next bud down that develops (and even the two below the top – as shown in the pic). No problem – next year you just have to prune off the bit you don’t want. Some trees appear to be more literate than others, but if the tree wants to develop bud number 2 consistently, then maybe you should prune to the bud above an outward-facing bud (and cut off the stub in the summer).

Sorry for the very late submission, but it allows the follow-on comment that I have virtually no fruit this year due to a very late frost.
