That’s a great start to your orchard! The first thing that comes to my mind is how ultra rare red fleshed pears are. So you may be wondering if you did start a red fleshed pear project where can you get scion wood for research once your ready NCGR-Corvallis: Pyrus Catalog . I would suggest we all send this program a small donation to keep them going. Once thing i did and still have is hundreds of rootstocks waiting to be grafted. Once you have enough rootstocks started its easy to obtain the scion wood your look for. As an example here is rootstock for $2.30 per tree Pyrus Old Home x Farmingdale 87 | Willamette Nurseries rootstock clonal seedling fruit tree ornamental seedlings
Maybe you like huge trees and have plenty of room $1.18 each for bet Betulaefolia Pear | Willamette Nurseries rootstock clonal seedling fruit tree ornamental seedlings
Many people exchange a small amount of grafting wood for a different type. You can also find plenty of places eager to sell scion wood for a few dollars per stick. You can graft 3 trees from one stick usually.
@Dudeness If your interested in expanding your orchard and caring for it the resources page is a great place to start first General Fruit Resources .Williamette as an example has many more rootstocks to chose from just spend time getting the right ones for your needs. I prefer callery myself or bet.
There are many other nurseries that sell rootstocks eg.
Pear — CopenHaven Farms
