yes that is a very good idea!!
a couple years ago we lost our old apple tree mostly to rot, but heavy wind really did it in, busted it clean in half. I shouldnt even admit to this, lol.. but I cried, and cried over losing that tree, which I had watched my little ones out picking apples from. That same day I went and purchased 2 more apple trees to replace it. It will be a good number of years before they will be any where near producing good sized apples, but at least I was able to replace it.
Please keep us in mind, let us know what you find out.
