This thread is a real eye-opener, I think I will dive right in to learn how. I haven't found a source in Canada that sells apple tree scions yet. I read that Medlars can be grafted to crab apples too.
There is a workshop on grafting by a home orchard association next weekend in Seattle that I'm tempted to go but can't, but it also tells me this is about the right time to try things in my area. My own records says my crab apple/apple plum trees bloomed April 1-15th last year.
I was told that the area I live now used to be orchards by Japanese families, my neighbors existing old apple and cherry trees further prove that. So maybe I am in fruit growing heaven.
