Re: [nafex] Hawthorn for Pear roostock

[Lucky Pittman <Lucky.Pittman@murraystate.edu>]

I tried to put an unidentified 'flat-bottomed' pear on hawthorn this 
spring, and it didn't take.  I don't know if the failure was due to 
incompatibility or just the fact that I sometimes have problems bringing 
scionwood from south Alabama in February and getting it to stay dormant 
long enough to graft in April, here in KY.  I did manage to get one take of 
that pear, fostered onto a young Keiffer tree, but it (the scion) was well 
on its way to pushing growth when I grafted it, and it still doesn't look 
too great.
