Did anyone else have problems grafting OhxF87 pear rootstock this spring. I grafted 35 apple trees, all but one took. The same day I grafted 7 pear. None have really leafed out. Two look like they sort of wanted too, but appear to be dying. I got them from cummins.
Last time I bought a bundle of pear rootstock i had about 95% failure. Most of the rootstocks died. I think with pears being harder to root via stool beds they should probably be given at least a year to produce stable roots after being harvested prior to grafting.
