The best bet is to graft your own trees. We grafted all our 62 Heritage Apple trees. Its not hard to learn and you can choose from a wide variety of rootstock and interstems to aid in disease resistance and hardiness. Our cost last year on new stock was around 12.00 per tree for scion wood and grafting supplies. We use Queener Farms (https://www.queenerfarm.com/) for our scions. I think you can get a bundle of 20 scions for about 60.00 on selected varieties of the same kind. Individual varieties are from 6.00 to around 15.00 each depending on how rare they are. The most economical way is to find someone with established Apple trees who will give you a few scions off them for free. I’m sure many on this platform would donate a few cuttings if you paid the shipping. If you have any questions about grafting and rootstock, contact us we will be glad to help.
