I stumbled around in the bush today checking on this year's topworks. I didn't have any with 0 takes, so there's hope for all of them. Some are getting browsed, even though I grafted at 5'+. I pruned off all the new growth competing for apical advantage with my grafted scions.
Good news..1. theres shittons of browse out there. Even in a drought year there is no shortage of deer food in a young forest. 2. I found lots of large beds as I waded through some sections of RCG. 3. I dropped 2-3 lbs. of water via sweating.
Bad news...1. there's plenty of bugs out there even in a drought year. 2. It's a lot more enjoyable walking through the woods when it's below 60 degrees. 3. I dropped 2-3 lbs. of water via sweating.

Very happy with this graft. Invasive Bradford pear grafted over to an ancient pear that was dying on dads old place. It’s the biggest scion I ever attempted. Just grafted last spring now the tree is pushing 12 ft. Amazing growth.

If… I'm doing my best to keep my new stuff to 10 apple plugs and 5 rugosa plugs. I may get weak and order some evergreen plugs from Chief River, but I'm trying not to. Scionwood doesn't count as new trees though, that goes on existing stuff
