I'd like to purchase a Seckel Pear tree, but I cannot find one at the nurseries I've visited so far. Can anyone point me to a nursery in the Portland/Gresham area which carries the Seckel Pear tree?

Bi-mart might have them. I think I have seen them there in the past.

You might call each Bi-mart in your area, asking an employee in the garden department to check for you and call you back if they have one. Ditto the mom & pop hardware stores that carry trees, if any stores like that remain. Riskier bets include Home Depot. Have you called every single nursery in the area?

You can also have one mail ordered to you. I'd check out Burnt Ridge, Raintree, and One Green World.

Tonight I checked on my Seckel graft from last spring. It is forming blossoms on the original scion as well as on the tips of last year's new growth. I have it grafted onto a Bosc pear tree that I planted 6 years ago, I left four buds on the scion piece. Pretty quick results, most apples and pears I've grafted take two years to fruit.

Friends of Trees is having a fruit tree giveaway on April 25 at Wallace Park, NW Pettygrove St & NW 25th Ave, in Portland. It will be from 9 am to Noon, but arrive early for best selection. There are 10 dwarf Seckel pears, around 1" caliper. Everything is bare root.
