I re-potted a seedling apple yesterday (I plan on grafting it with several different varieties next year) into a new 15 gallon pot. I plan on getting very creative with the training of this apple. I want to form a type of "step over" or two long lateral branches or possible some other shape. We'll see how it looks in another year or two.
I used a lot of wood chips in my soil mix, so the pot wasn't too heavy. I topped the soil mix with some wood chips to help conserve moisture when/if it turns hot :)
Another item on my tray is a dozen or so pear seedlings from last year, along with another dozen Seckel seedlings from this year. I'll probably use the ones above as grafting experiments next year. They were potted up in 7 gallon pots about 2 weeks ago. I'll need to order various pear scion next winter.
