Hello, I'm looking for help in identifying my family's crab apple tree. It produces the world's tastiest crab apples and is a beloved tree in our family and in the neighborhood. The apple tree was damaged in a storm last night and may have to be taken down. It is located at my parents' home in Mayville, ND, about half way between Fargo and Grand Forks. My sister has an apple tree in Bemidji that could function as a surrogate to keep a few branches going. I know grafts are usually done in the spring. Is the timing for grafting a branch ok now? Do you have any other suggestions for continuing this tree's legacy? Is it possible to do a DNA test on an apple or tree to learn its genetic pedigree? I'm willing to pay for a test. And, once the species is understood, how would we find a duplicate tree? Thank you.
