- Subject: [NAFEX] Dwarfing interstem on pear?
- Date: Wed, 6 Feb 2008 20:30:06 -0600
Dear all,
I'm planning on ordering various
blight resistant pears from Corvallis. Calleryana rootstocks grow great
here, but they get so big. What do you all know about the use of dwarfing
interstems for pears? I see that they have OHXF 34, 51, 87 and 333.
They say they are compatible with both communis and calleryana. Has there
been much done with these as dwarfing interstems? Are there known problems
with such trees? I could just use Magness, Maxine, or Warren as interstems
on quince, but have been told that quince is as susceptible to apple borers as
apple is. This would be defeating part of my purpose in switching to
pears, which is to avoid tree losses to those *&^#+* borers.
Please advise me before I do
something stupid! Thanks. Donna
