Hi NAFEX
Last spring I made about a dozen grafts using a bag of 1/4" x 3 1/2"rubber
bands I cut. You can buy a bag of about a zillion for a couple bucks at
Office Depot. I used more than one band on a few of the grafts. They took
fine. I also used paraffilm over the whole thing.

Ed,
I have almost all of the red flesh apples mentioned so far except for
Geneva and Red Giant. Might you (or someone else) sell me some
scionweed?
Feel free to reply off list.
Very cold in Utah,

John, the lower light situation interests me as I have many meadow areas
like that. Could be mistaken - but I remember in a discussion cancerning a
similar situation - the recommendation of prunus and evans cherry in
particular. Also elderberry.
Warmest winter here in N. Minnesota as well, Del Z2/3

Dean, three cheers to your project! Being new to this subject, what little
I have read om it seems to put craetagus ahead of amelanchier for
compatability and longetivity. I'd be curious to hear more, I hope to graft
O.H.xF onto wild versions of both this spring. Del z2/3

Subject: Re: potential pear rootstock
Hi Del,
The idea of using Amelanchier comes from the studies that were done in
Oregon, and were published in Temperate Zone Pomology by Westwood. (Lon,
please correct any inaccuracies here). I cannot recall how many different
scion cultivars were used, but I believe one of them was Comice. The data
showed that Amelanchier had one of the highest yield and dwarfing of any
rootstock.
Also, Wayne Fuhr in Edmonton has been using Amelanchier for pear rootstocks
for a number of years now, and has had quite a bit of success with them. It
is my intention to spring bud 50 cultivars on the Amelanchier alnifolia
'Honeywood' rootstock, which has very low suckering, and see what happens.
I'm interested in the compatibility issue, as I may find that certain
cultivars may or may not be compatible.
There also has been some interspecific hybrids of Amelanchier x Pyrus bred
in the 80's in Edmonton which I hope to receive some scions to trial. From
what I understand, the fruit was very interesting, but not really worthwhile
besides raising your eyebrow.
I visited Brian Smith, breeder at the University of Wisconsin, and his work
on stone fruits is mostly with interspecific breeding. He is attempting to
breed into apricots a later bloom characteristic by using late blooming
plums for a breeding parent, for example. He is trying to bring out the
best of both types of fruit in his seedlings. Possibly that is what needs
to be done here, attempt to combine the best characteristics of pear with
other compatible fruit.
I am going to breed strickly Pyrus in one line, and the Amelanchier X Pyrus
in another line. I've got to give it a try.
Dean

Subject: craetagus/crataegus
Hmmm, In my last post I spelled 'craetagus' for wild hawthorn -- a few
minutes later I started reading an 1895 botany manual I was just given and
saw 'crataegus'. I typed both into internet search engines and found both.
Can anyone calrify? Here are examples if needed,
"craetagus"<http://csf.colorado.edu/sustainability/plants/sholto.html>
"crataegus"<http://www.bonsaiweb.com/care/faq/crataegus.html>
Thanks for the pear root experiment clarification Dean. It encourages me to
do more with amelanchier. Del

Del:
My vote goes for no. 2, crataegus. That's what Michael Dirr thinks in
his recent book "Hardy Trees and Shrubs". Misspellings do creep into the
language from time to time, and occasionally become accepted and part of
the permanent structure. The internet is not helping this situation
much, although it is encouraging people to write more.

I checked a number of agriculture databases and Crataegus is used most often
in the scientific literature although I did find a very small number of
articles that used Craetagus or Cratagus(probably mispellings).
