shmaven helping with the pear stoolbed

shmaven helping with the pear stoolbed. So seedling ussurian pears didn’t root with the setup, maybe I should be using ohxf. to savage I left a root cutting for each in place, and collect some rootstocks but not as many as if the shoots had rooted. next summer will try painting the new growth with iba or iba+naa and using drip tape to keep the sawdust from drying out. and well, also planting new beds of seedlings. it takes 2 years to get a pear seedling up to size so far, and zone 3 hardy pear rootstocks are tricky to stoolbed it seems #stoolbed
