Propagating The Old Apple Tree

Before it’s too late I want to grow more of the old apple tree below the YAHB, ( I can’t believe I waited this long ). My plan so far, ( I’m open to suggestions ) , is to plant several in each “hole” and to put the holes in the field below the orchard where there are other old apple and pear trees. If this works I will try to propagate some of the old pear trees. The intent is to let these get big enough that they can feed the wild animals and act as decoys to the fruit inside the Beer Fence ( Bear & Deer Fence).

This is the old apple tree that I took green cuttings from to see if I can start some new trees.
This is where I prepared the cuttings.
Cool but not cold, light but not direct light. This is where I hope they start roots.
