Yesterday I collected scion from
Ms Laneene
Wildlife pear
And a very fast growing pear that I’ve lost the tag it maybe Gilmer Xmas I think I have about 10 of those trees around here.
I build or buy lots of bird houses
blue bird
Purple Martin
Tree swallow
Barn swallow(these are not really nests in the conventional sense)
Barn owl
Even had buzzards raise babies in one of the barns last year.
Milled cedar lumber I usually have some
6”x6” maybe 4”x6” material milled up and on hand I like to keep a bit of 4/4 on hand also for hope chest bottoms. I will admit I keep more lumber on hand than most folks.
Use eastern red cedar if you can get your hands on it they love it and usually you will not need to put a dead one in the trap they find the traps plenty fast hang it in a nice sunny location where u see them often.
Most are unemployed dead beats that get paid to protest one of my coworkers was married to a gal that ran around the country doing it needless to say he is happily divorced today and recovering nicely.
I snap a lot of photos of my trees often and can look back at those photos latter on to check things like bloom time at my place for specific trees. I’m not saying I photos of every tree that I have but it would be helpful to have for stuff like this.
I did graft an older branch that had fruit spurs on it not by choice it was the best I could get the day I cut scion off that tree and one of them did take last year idk if it’s going to actually put out any good vegetative growth this year or not.
