I found an old archived propagation book (era 1913?) on the internet that
had a recipe for grafting wax that I have been using. It calls for 1 part
beeswax 1 part pine sap and linseed oil (I use rancid flax oil) to texture.
It seems to work well (really I have only been grafting for a few years). I
would send the link but my computer crashed since then and I can not seem to
find the book again.

Kieffer pear and seedlings seem to be the dominant pear tree (besides
bradford) here in asheville n.c. area. Very hardy left to their own devices.
A prize in my book. zone 7
