Old apple orchard ‘blown over’

QuestionsOld apple orchard ‘blown over’
Olwen Sheil Staff asked 10 years ago

We have an old apple orchard possibly 130 years old. we know the variety of some of the trees but not all. Unfortunately with the recent weather some of the trees have blown over. Would it be possible to salvage some of these varieties, i.e take a cutting and graft to a new rootstock? or is the genetics more complicated than that?
