How To Do Bark Grafting On A Wild Pear Tree

[@jacknanuq6119]

great video. am in central NY and have a similar climate so this was very informative.

Regarding poison ivy...I'll give vinegar a shot... but, I have been using technu. It does a really good job at removing poison ivy oil; not perfect... but much better than anything else I've tried.

[@TheMillersWay]

Yes. That’s good one too. My wife used technu and it really helps removing the ivy oil.

I have done this with our wild pears 4 different trees so far. Your scion wood may have broke bud if you had any fruit stored in the same fridge. It gives off a gas that promotes the bud break.

[@TheMillersWay]

We stored our scion in the office fridge so no other fruits around. Thanks for the info though. The grafts I put on this tree were all healthy.

@@TheMillersWay Good to hear they made it. Pears are pretty easy, like apples. They hardly ever seem to fail. The fact that you got by with the buds already breaking shows both your skill level and the willingness of pears to go along with it. My pear wood is always the first to "go bad" in late spring. It's good that they also start early, so it works out, I just have to do them first. Gotten into Jujube lately. They are harder for me than even walnuts have been at only maybe 55% or so. It's a neat fruit though, so it's worth some failures along the way.

@@TheMillersWay you can pick the scions right there on the spot from the shoots that grew since march till june(they are usually semi-lignified and good for use). Like this guy does (there are dormant buds under the leaf petiole. I do the same and it works perfect. no need to bother with storing scions in the fridge till june; and if you have many trees to graft or they are far from where you pick the scions from, you can carry thefreshly picked scions in water; bottle, jar or small plastic container so that they don't wilt till you graft them) kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmaYip6wlr-bZ5Y kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqiVpJiffrp5jck That plastic bag can be either cut a little bit (make a small hole in its corner) or pierced a few times with a needle or needle like object after 2-3 days. Then it can be taken down after 15 days while the aluminum foil should be kept for 20-30 days. In my zone(europe, hardiness zone 7) this graft can be done from the end of May ( 20-25 may) until 25 June - 1 July( Earlier than 20 may and the scion is either not big enough or too soft; Later than 5-10 July and they may not survive the winter as they don't have time to lignify to survive winter frost)

I got here by searching wild pear. I'm in Arkansas. Is this pear edible? The fruits are small. Do I need to bring more light into it? Thanks.

[@TheMillersWay]

I will need to see the picture of it before I can tell you if it's edible or not. Thanks.

[@joellesalvigsen4455]

How are these grafts doing? Update? Great video!

[@TheMillersWay]

Will give you an update soon. They look pretty good. All the grafts looks so healthy!

[@dougowen7962]

What is the “poly” tape you used?

[@TheMillersWay]

It is just a standard grafting tape. Thank you for stopping by.

[@rhondafowler6596]

What type of poly tape did you use?

[@TheMillersWay]

White Poly grafting tape. You can get it in Amazon.

[@Axepro24]

looks way to late in the season for the grafts to make it

[@lazzorfrogz2973]

Might as well control them trees

[@jackdenial1500]

Did the single emerging scion you tested take? I have done similar emerging apple and pear scions and they did take but you have to cover it with mist bag to keep the scion warm and wet, as in a greenhouse. Update please.

[@TheMillersWay]

Yes. All of them took. I might have to take a separate video for an update. I should have done it months after grafting it but got too busy to do it. Thanks for stopping by. If you have questions, don't hesitate to contact me.
