pears shooting up from these root cuttings. ussurian doesn't do this as much as siberian crabapple, but it does and would make for so e cool bonsai. last photo is a bundle of plugs from last fall, yes you can leave plugs in the shrink wrap and just water them, the trees don't know they aren't in a plug tray anymore. this actually works better than you would expect, I have couple bins of plugs still waiting to either go into the ground or into pots
