Malus domestica 'Granny Smith'

Finally got my #grannysmith #appletree planted. Hopefully it will recover 😏

It needs to be staked

My new #grannysmith #appletree 😊

We had strong #wind last night (or my kid, my dog, or a bear) that snapped my #appletree at the base. I think it’s below the graft union. So what should I do with it now? Make cutting to root? Try my hand at grafting? Or try to reroot the tree? 🤔

If it were me I'd put some rooting hormone at the base and pot it deep. Don't let it get hot this summer and keep it moist in shade. It won't be grafted but your tree will probably make it. I don't have any formal education. This is what has been successful for me. Good luck 💚

@columbiariver Thank you 😊 That’s a great plan. I’m learning pruning techniques to keep fruit trees small so it could be good anyway. I should have some Hormoden 3 arriving soon. Hopefully today.

Sounds like a plan!

@crabby58 my son got leaves from and topsoil from our forest to mulch it for me 😊

That's a great idea👍help hold in the moisture

It will grow to be a beauty 🤗
