I have another question.
I got over zealous 2 years ago and planted 5 semi dwarf honeycrisp trees when we were starting our little orchard. That is a whole lot of honeycrisp apples in a few years. So.... would you rip them out and plant other kinds and lose the two years? or do some aggressive grafting leaving the trees in place?
I plan on keeping one or maybe two of the honeycrisp. So in question are three spots of about 44.
thanks in advance!

If you are going to have 44 apple trees, 5 Honeycrisps will just help you make cider. What do you plan on doing with all the projected apples? Sell at farmers market? Cider?
Otherwise, yes you can easily start grafting those babies over to more desirable cultivars, if you have any in mind. It's a shame to waste established roots in the ground.
You should attend the March Scion exchange and see how many apple cultivars are offered! You'll go a little nuts.
