I bench grafted 15 apple trees on EMLA-1111 and two pears on OF H87. I did W&T grafts and the height varies from 3-4" to 12-14" above the roots, wherever the diameters matched. I have read that EMLA111 grafts should be close to the ground, can I just plant the higher grafted trees deeper to achieve this, or will the 12-14" above ground be a problem?
I currently have them planted in a "nursery" at the same depth that the rootstock was growing at, with grafts anywhere from 3-14" above the soil, planning on moving this fall, will that be to late to plant deeper?
How about the pears, same questions, they both were grafted fairly high.
