This year I decided to get my Dad a more unusual Christmas gift - a freshly grafted cherry tree! Instead of ordering one online, I decided to go out to the orchard to see if I could put one together myself. If you've got fruit trees and would like a few more, don't be so fast to remove all of the suckers at the base of the tree as they may be perfect rootstock specimens for a new tree. Couple them with any excess growth from the top of your tree and you've got yourself a free new tree!
