>>1522223I have a full grown crab apple tree in my orchard. The kind that has the wee tiny cluster of apples like in this image (not Malus domestica). The fruit never gets larger than pea-sized. When dried they taste like a tangy fruit roll up. I've been thinking of cutting it back severely to only several large limbs and sticking scions around the ends of the limbs. I know the procedures to do it and will only do it to one limb per year until it is all done. I figure I'll put in the varieties listed in
>>1522542 for that experiment. Would these take and fruit or will it being another another species be a problem? I know they hybridize readily with the domestics it seems so I figured they may work okay as root stock. The tree is a nice semi-dwarf size at max.
