So far 2 of the 3 scions are putting out growth. I’m hoping the 3rd gets around to it eventually.

What amount of fruit production can you expect in a year after grafting like that? I have a couple of apple trees on my property that were there before I purchased my home. I’d like to graft more interesting apple varietals than was is currently in place.
Honestly it’ll take at 2+ years for the scions to get established and grow large enough to bear fruit. The good thing is that this is still relatively fast since the scions are from an adult tree. You should definitely consider grafting some better varieties! 2 years will pass before you know it.
Very cool. I wonder what the apples would be like if you propagated new trees from the seeds of your Liberty/Ashmead/Cox Orange Pippen grafted tree. Will this tree be used for cider apples?

Unfortunately, from what I understand, getting a decent apple hybrid from two varieties of apple is extremely rare. Things seem to have to align just right. I think it’s like 1 in 5k or something like that.
