To graft your own fruit trees<\/a>, you can buy Apple<\/a>, Pear<\/a>, Cherry<\/a>, and Plum rootstocks<\/a> from us.<\/p>

Grafting is the only way to propagate more of a particular fruit tree variety<\/h2>

Grafting is satisfying work<\/a>, it\u2019s a joy to give a new run to a beloved old, possibly dying tree whose name has been lost. <\/p>

A named cultivar (cult<\/strong>ivated var<\/strong>iety), like a \u2018Bramley\u2019 apple tree<\/a>, is never grown from seed. They are effectively cloned from other Bramley trees.<\/p>
