Those trees do exceptionally well when you strip bark off all the way around at ground level then pile mulch as high as you can up the trunk. Follow up by feeding with triclopyr for best results
Iām pretty sure a Bradford pear in my yard caused fire blight to my fruit bearing pear tree last year. I read later that Bradfords spread it. So I wonder if this would work on the Bradford in my yard, instead of cutting it down. Or I wonder if grafting to a Bradford would create more blight resistant pear trees. š¤·š¼āāļø OR I should just chop down the Bradford š¤·š¼āāļø
While that is great…it is also called vandalism where I live. It may be legal in Michigan, but it isn't legal in a lot of states. I would be very careful advising people on how to guerrilla graft city property.
3d chess move man, these libs just keep taking Ls. There is also the dichotomy of TSA liberals working unpaid next to OCE agents and they might realize they are in a losing battle š
I have an awful bradford pear planted right next to my house. They had 3 acres and stuck it like 15ft from the house. š it blocks my windows, smells like crap in spring, drops branches like crazy, and is trying to infiltrate the powerline going to the house. The only good thing about it is that the sheep like to eat the leaves. It's gonna cost a lot to get it pulled out. š

How long does it take for these to produce fruit?
Johnny Pear Scion.
Should we try it at the zoo?

I used to do this stuff when i was a kid. Id go around late at night planting random weird stuff in people's yards or parks.
Im going to do this with those really juicy round pears (idk their name)
Would love to see the results!š
Love this
Nice job. Great idea
One silly city worker will come along and trim all your graftings. š

I know you mean well but doing this in a public park is stepping out of bounds in my opinion.
Love this Luke! Bravo! Encore encore encore!!! šŖššš ššš

This graft was promised 3000 years ago
Try apple scion onto English hawthorn. It works
Brilliant
God, I hate Bradford pears!
Idk where to get the real pear cuttings.
