Hi guys,
First time post from me and a complete amatuer when it comes to gardening so I do apologise if I sound ignorant!
My parents have a mature Discovery apple tree growing in the north east (Durham to be nearer the mark!)
Every year it fruits and we have never had any issues with frost or diseases.
Would the tree continue on in its current form (the same blossom, fruit, size etc) if we grafted from it?
I have no idea how to do this, I have no idea what rootstock I would need and in all honesty would prefer a proffessional to carry this out for me (so that it works!) but the local nurseies seem to be shops/cafe's now and I dont fancy asking a 15 year old for advice as I'm not particularily interested in a new tree from holland.
Ideally I would love to dig the tree up and move it into my garden but this isnt going to happen as its 15ft high!
Is grafting a way of moving the tree to my garden on a more reasonable scale and will it be the same is what I'm asking.
Futhermore if anyone could suggest a North East based proffessional I'd be very grateful.
