Is that a GMOd?Now that i have produced scion wood in decent amount on my own i can do more grafting at little cost. I have 6 scion of Appleloosa apple to graft. I can easily get 12 trees/limbs from these by cutting in half.I will probably do some grafting on older trees as well as grafting onto rootstock to get entire tree of these.These scion this year are $8 each but in past years they were much higher in cost.In 2022 these Appleloosa brought over $100 each at auction.
For me buying root stock at $4 each and grafting makes it so much more affordable to expand and learn the skill of grafting and tree care and more.I still have a very very long way to go.

I take that as no. it looks too delicious to be natural!
no this is apple genetics going way back to albert etter breeding...he took trees he produced and bred new stuff up and still doing it. the genetics are crabapple genetics from long ago. many crabs are pink fleshed.
patience grasshopper...i type with one finger....lol
OK, natural is good, where can I buy some?
read entire thread carefully....then look at posts #24 and #30...trees from cummins dont deliver till 2026 and scion available now might not be red fleshed available as new stuff he breeds go fast...read my posts in garden thread....some scion brings $300 plus at auction.
this is not a spur of moment thing you need to look into each cultivar some are for eating others for cider.
the middle one when stressed or upset....lolWhich one?

Apples in Virginia! Makes me want to go home!! Always going into Grandma's pantry and seeing the box of apples on the cold floor, could smell them, so yummy. Excellent cider. Apple butter. Real apples.
Let me know when the apple trees start blooming, sometime late April, early May?
@Neb, are you doing this with scions?
