Been waiting for the last bench grafted pear to break bud, today was the day :) Mainly whip and tongue grafts but there may be a cleft graft or two in there. I'll baby sit them like the other grafted trees and set them out after they go dormant.

I don't know if this is the same kind of grafting, but my dad did a lot of experimental fruit tree grafting in his garden. The coolest tree he grafted was an apple tree with 6 different apple varieties!!!

I like your dad already I just did a 6 variety apple this year, 7 if you count the crab apples produced from the rootsock.

March 2024 after pruning and grafting.

May 23 2024, it's since kind of exploded with new branch growth. But that's OK... I'll prune it and graft more varieties onto it next year. I would like to eventually graft every apple variety we have in the orchard on to this tree.

Pear and cherry grafts from early spring. I had a stella cherry graft die because I got sloppy with the pruners, pruning back to all but a centeral leader. So I just regrafted a stella scion back on to the rootstock, it's now flowering, so that graft has took.

A couple of the cherries have taken off after I pruned to a centeral leader. I'm hopeful, if I do a good job baby sitting them over summer that I can plant them in the orchard this fall, after the go dormant. I look at it as motivation to be a good baby sitter :) I'm beginning to understand why a nursery is called a nursery.
