Why are pear scions and rootstocks so hard to get this year? Quarantine is not just Corvallis

FWIW, I just got an email from it indicating it was getting ready to ship my order for OHxF 333.

And fireblight resistance.

I order OHF 97, didn’t see 333 when I ordered (around christmas).

Fireblight resistance is important but remember calleryana are highly FB resistant as well. Don’t let that be your only deciding factor but it’s definitely very important and one of the important factors.

Has anyone heard an update on the problems at Corvallis? The last update I heard was they were still trying to clean up the problem.

I havent heard lately. I figured by now the quarantine was lifted as I received root stock last spring from OR, but it was too late for scion wood. I havent gotten around to resubmitting last years request, I guess I will call first.
