Not sure whats going on here,anybody experienced growing seedling trees? I
started crossing Honeycrisp with Gala,Pinova,Pink Lady, Goldrush,in
1997,Produced hundreds of seedling trees I planted in 1998,also made 2 limb
grafts of each on 5 year old M-9 and B-9 trees,some old Golden Del and
others.,started getting apples on the limb grafts in 2 years, the seedlings
some at 4 years, Afew of the limb grafts (20-30) of of 900,were outstanding in
quality right away while the seedling tree's apples were tasteless or off
flavored but looked the same, Now,some years later the seedlings still are
worthless in Quality (taste,dissolved solids),even when properly thinned, Whats
going on here,are all apples more tasty on dwarf? and less quality on
seedling?Will the seedling ever be any good?The seedlings range from 12 feet to
40. I don't expect to sell any of these, this is an experiment. Lee
