I am in a bit of a predicament. I bought 25 pear root stocks, and 25 cherry root stocks from Cummins this spring thinking I would find someone locally that I could get some scion wood from. Who knew it would be this hard to find scion wood for pear or cherry? I had my wife post on facebook and even put an ad on Craigslist. Oh well, anybody willing to send me some buds or meet locally in the Elmira, Ny area?
Will work for scion wood!

Got any disease resistant pear to trade and are you looking for budwood now or scionwood for next winter? I have a few I could get you but also looking for budwood myself.
I have:
Harvest Queen
Kalle, Red Clapps Favorite
Potomac
Shenandoah
Perry Pears (probably poor eating, like cider apples can be), expect most of these to be ripe in October.

I would like some budwood to start grafting now. I would like the Harvest Queen, Red Clapps, Potomac, and Shenandoah please. I don't have any pear scions to trade but I do have cherry, plum, and apple root stock I can trade. I also have plum and apple budwood.

I'll send you a PM. You might have some apple that I'd take budwood for.
Let me know what you are looking for.
I go up your way every weekend in September and the first 2 weeks of October.

Will send you my contact info and you are welcome to come by and collect whatever is needed for pear grafting. September is better than October so we don't scare away any "14 pointers" too close to muzzleloader/rifle season. It sounds like you may do a little salmon fishing by the time of year you come up this way.
You have everything I want!

how bout stopping by a pick your own apple farm? if you chip bud you would only need one branch that would yield quite a few buds. Talk to them of course, but this way you will see how that tree performs near you by the load of apples on it, talk to the grower too about spray, check for car, scab..... go the extra effort and bring a spray bottle with you with a 20% bleach solution in it to spray down pruners between cuts so you show you know the importance of not transmitting disease through contaminated pruners........
