Cool! Over the last couple years I’ve been grafting various edible European and Asian scions onto the “invasive” Bradford pear trees that have sprung up all over.
Have you followed the work of David the Good? He is a permaculturist who did a lot of work in Florida. He has a lot of ideas such as “grocery row gardening” and other concepts. Stefan Sobkowiak’s permaculture orchard is a good resource. I have some fruit trees but haven’t planted an orchard or food forest so I don’t have a lot of experience to share. Keep us posted!
Progress on grafting onto a cut off Bradford pear. March grafting day on left and today’s photo on the right. This is after I cut off a lot of sprouts from the Bradford.
It’s Kieffer and Shinko scions grafted onto the Bradford stump. Some grafts took and some didn’t, but overall a success.
