Apple tree grafting.

[biglongdarren]

I grafting ten apple trees in january and at the minute they seem to be taking ok, i haven't done it much before but should i knock off all the blossoms on the grafts to make them put there strength into joining rather than the flowers or just leave them to it??

I would not expect them to put energy into fruit just yet.

I have one apple which I grafted last year, also full in flower ( late blooming). Will knock down all flowers, as it should go more in developing than fruiting which is counterproductive for now. So, don't feel sorry to knock down flowers.
