New Pear Trees
Q: I have been trying for several years to start new pear trees from old ones. What’s the best way?
A: I think your best bet is grafting twigs from an old tree onto a small young tree. This is the perfect time to do it. I have photos of how one guy used Super Glue to do it successfully at http://www.walterreeves.com/food-gardening/22779/.
