A few years ago i grafted Asian high on native rootstock because of deer pressure and also for better winter survival. Now that i got my yard fenced-in i started with grafting much lower, like a foot or so. I kept 4 branches and the little tree's are very good looking and hope to have some fruit next summer. Right now i have a few 3 years old and some 4 year these have fruit on them now,one has 14 and others only 2.
