2022 - Just a very few pruning cuts. Still thin and slow growing grafts but alive.

2021 - All grafts are thin, a bit rough, but growing. Tree itself is thin, possibly too many grafts at once? No more grafting or pruning for awhile.

2020 - east '19 graft winterkilled, rest growing well. Grafted more on bottom and s/se branches

2019 - ‘18 grafts very vigorous growth. Cut extra & graft 2 more, grew well. Do more 2020. End April pruned main tree some for size and some to grow new wood for grafting. Some fruit on original - small red crabs.

2018 - very thin scion from Mark, southern Wisc. Fit OK on small whippy south branch of medium mature crab north of garden/east of grapes. Not a lot of growth but 3 live buds had leaves. (one other graft, Chestnut also from Mark, grew but 2 others from NPGS didn’t take).

Crabapple tree is the only one left after removing the rest of close growing row along north garden fence. Cut top back quite a bit and thinned its whippy branches. Fruit is small red crabs. Eventually graft over to mostly Trailman and Chestnut, leaving a branch of original plus some Emma's.

Online Notes: Excellent for fresh eating, cooking, canning. This is about the hardiest apple known in Fairbanks.... Thin them hard in the spring and when ripe, let them hang thru a few cool nights then the sweetness and taste intensifies. Highly recommended by many on GrowingFruit.
