I have a pear tree that we have to remove because it's in the wrong place. It has good pears and I'd like to take a cutting and graft it to a new rootstock so I can have a new version of the tree.
I have never done any grafting. I can give it a try, but it would be great if there's someone with experience who could help. Where do I get a root stock?
Pears are relatively easy for a beginner to graft and have success. You could purchase a bare root pear tree at your local nursery or garden store and you’ll have a larger tree to start with than a piece of rootstock. The bare root tree will also have several branches that you could graft to and try different styles of graft to increase your chances of success. The best advice is to cut your scion to two or three buds so that the union can support the grafted pieces until it grows.
If you aren't certain of the variety of the pear tree, ideally you will wait until your graft takes and grows before removing the original.
If you plan to use traditional grafting, you'll want to collect the scion wood soon if you haven't already.
You might also park some scions on somebody elses established pear tree, or give some away for sources of future backup scion wood.
If you know the variety, you can just buy another tree.
I found 9 hidden links in 9 posts and copied the path of all of them into another of my own comments under Forums Suggestions & Support. [ 9 posts reported so far ]
I put them there for my future reference so that I get to see them when I'm logged in. Anybody logged in can see them by quoting my post in the link above and then clicking the top right icon that has the html hash tags that look like this <>.
All 9 were posts created in recent months.

Thanks Rooney,I wasn't able to follow that, so hopefully Jafar can get in there and do that.
Sorry.

PDX OR
I am about to email the copy of those paths that I was talking about to make it easier to get in there and do that. I have Jafars and your email, and possibly Larry's. The form is simply an attached PDF output from my active browser session from Chromium, which is safe.
...doing that now.
Hi all,
Yes I do have high hopes for successful screening of bots through the listening and reading up from as many inputs I can find. What I see so far is better tools that can be used as non-moderators without even logging in to still easily see which new applications have false reasons for being here. I will explain the secret tool that's about to make this screening process very easy for us to help you moderators, but first I need to emphasize I can only private message you how. So if you really want to know you can always list who you are first then I'll PM you.
There were 3 false actors that I found today from 2023 posts. A few days ago there were several on this very thread that I missed and could not see before they got banned. Of this new rash of false posters I'm still interested in how many (percentage wise) got banned because there they were trying to advertise an external link?
I'm close to knowing these percentages and when I get a very sure I will almost guarantee that a couple of us regular non-moderators can do a better job than we have against these so called bots; and save needing to up the ticket to Wordpress themselves.
Much thanks to the job you do as moderators for your time spent watching flagged posts. Thanks to Larry's pointer to help on what these actors were trying to accomplish also helped a developer that I barter with to know these newer combative strategies that I know we need to do to make our lives easier and at the same time keep the HO society search ranking here high. 🙂
