T incision into the bark, bud shield inserted under the flap. The bud in question is that tiny nub at the base of the trimmed leaf stem.

Raxao bud grafts. I could only find one of these apple trees this winter on a notoriously finicky rootstock; the tree has struggled all season & appears to be about to fail completely. Was able to salvage *three tiny buds*, now grafting them onto Dolgo seedling stock

We all know about the Cider Bible at The Chained Library at Hereford Cathedral don't we? Today I had a private visit to the crypt to see the Cider Tomb. This merchant cider maker has a cask of cider at his feet.
