I'm considering planting a 300 tree orchard next July (winter in Australia) and one supplier has offered me graftlings which I believe are newly grafted rootstocks with their bud and tape in place. What do you think of this? He acknowledges that there will be failures and will include extras to allow for this... Your thoughts would be good. It could be advantageous to get trees like this, or it may not be a good idea.
Thanks very much for your technical opinions.
