[...] Can some life-force flow upward from the ground, through the rootstock, into the attached scion and unite all the layers of bark, sap, and heartwood from one piece of branch to the other? Will this fragile connection then grow and endure to the point that one day the two will work together to actually bear delicious fruit? [...]

Thanks Michele, if you are anywhere near Lancaster PA you might want to stop by White Oak Nursery as they offer a number of heirloom apple trees for sale, but they are Amish farmers and do not sell through the Internet. Also the Backyard Fruit Growers Organization is a great resource for anyone interested in raising heirloom apples or other rare fruits and you may be close enough to participate in the group. I also included a few good sources for antique apples on a previous post related to Locating Heirloom Apple Trees

Thank you for sharing this wonderful knowledge, Kenneth! Just yesterday in the grocery store (in southern California), I saw crab apples for sale — not usual for our local markets. It brought back wonderful memories of our crab apple tree in our backyard as a child on Long Island, NY. No apple trees in our immediate area now, but I’ve taken trips to Julian (in the mountains near San Diego) many times in the fall to enjoy the apple picking (and pie eating!) there. I will be interested to see if I find any heierloom apple varietes you’ve mentioned the next time I’m there.
