I plan to grow many apple trees from seed, plant them out and identify the best growing trees on my block of land, to, essentially find the best rootstock for my land, then cultivate that rootstock, and then graft known cultivars.
Beware!
Prickly Pear rendered 58 MILLION ACRES UTTERLY UNUSABLE in Australia in the early 19th century, because birds so quickly spread seads everywhere!
Be very careful not to make the solution into THE PROBLEM!
