The weather is cool so I see no reason not to use it to my advantage while we have it. This is a BET rootstock and I love these trees! There is very few rootstocks that do better than callery and BET and the hybrids of the two types. Harbin are more difficult for me to work with. Sometimes harbin grow really slow here in Kansas so i really never know what to expect from them. It sounds really bad but it’s my opinion these BET are better to graft after they are considered a little to big. When i started this topic i thought the exact opposite at that the larger trees would be harder to graft. I’ve grafted lots of larger pears and these really were no different. After the first couple I was warmed up. In the future I’m going to wait on some of them until they are 7 or 8 feet or higher to top work them.
