Lucky--Did you do this indoors (greenhouse), or outdoors? At which time of
year?

This past Autumn, a friend of mine took cuttings (active, not dormant) from a
couple of my pears and rooted them successfully with rootone. He did his in
pots, using some type of shredded bark as a growing medium. I thought I'd
just try to root them in my garden.

By the way, I'm working in the same office as Doug Hines now. He says he has
some leftover OHxF rootstocks he'll let me have, so I can graft a few of the
scions I brought with me from Maryland. He also says I can ride down to the
Nut Growers' meeting with him.
