Grafting Fruit Trees

It was another nice day to practice social distancing by working outdoors on grafting fruit trees. I had great success grafting some pear trees two years ago and it's time to prune some old tree growth away from the grafted growth. A couple of my successful two year old grafts.



A new graft on a "sucker" branch.



I cut off this 1.5 inch branch from a wild pear tree and grafted in some cuttings from a pear tree in the orchard.



This wild pear tree had branches going all directions so I grafted in some cuttings from the orchard. If the new grafts are successful I will prune out more of the old branches in a couple of years.
