Perpend joins to discuss our 7 Tips for Thriving in the New Year:
We also discuss Steven Edholm at Skillcult.com method for breeding apples without grafting or growing from seed. He is on a quest to have a good tasting red fleshed apple. He hand pollinates the apple blossoms from two trees, puts a mesh around the blossoms so they can't be pollinated by pollinators or be affected by bugs. Then he tastes the apples and if they pass then he will grow out into seeds. This eliminates the trial and error and 5 year turnaround time from growing from seed.
