Favor for a friend - Top working callery Pears!

A friend has some property where a trailer sat at one time and there are some wild pear trees there that are undoubtedly seedlings of the original ornamental pear. My part was go make the best of the situation so I thought I might document with photos what I did to the largest pear.

Top working Callery Pears weather permitting

Top working Pears weather permitting today. I don’t like grafting with these temperature swings we are getting but I can’t wait much longer or it will get to hot. This is my first grafts of the year. Might as well just jump right in. Grafting this one and several others to Douglas. Wish me luck! How’s your grafting going? [image][image][image][image][image][image][image][image]
