I bought a four way dwarf apple four years ago from one of our Master Gardener sales. I will say that my experience has been less than positive. I didn't want multiple trees because we can't use that many apples and thought this was the way to go. Two of the grafts have failed, leaving me with Anna and Golden Dorset neither one was one I prefer. At our old farm we had an Ian Schiemer (sp) that produced ok. I did get one apple off my little tree this year, maybe more next. My complaint besides the grafts failing, is that each branch blooms at a different time. Love the dwarf part though. If I get another, it wouldn't have more than two varieties.
