Interesting - I've never really seen a graft point on a 55 year old
tree.

I am assuming that it is below the graft point because the tree was cut
off very close to the ground.

I've just been out and measured it and it is about 9 inches diameter,
Its surviving companion has no definitive graft line.

Images here
http://www.botanical-journeys-plant-...ple-trees.html
and scroll down just over half way. And here
http://www.vegetablegardener.com/ass...kg13wa9_lg.jpg

Both the images appear to show a bulbous area near the bottom of the
trunk, which I assume is the graft.

I can't immediately identify a similar feature on the surviving tree, but
assuming that the graft was at 2 feet off the ground the cut is well below
that.
