Thanks b116757 but I'll pass on it the if the buds are breaking. My understanding is that the buds need to be from this year's new growth and dormant? Bigboreblr, it is definitely not too late graft this year. This links says you can chip bud into early september, and it's a University of...

Taking a long shot here, I'm looking for some pear branches for t-budding. I put someOHxF-97 in the veggie garden 2 springs ago with the intent of top working them this past spring and life got in the way so now I'm looking for some material to t-bud with. I'm not having any luck finding any...

From what I can gather, none of them did. It would be very interesting to see a study conducted on people who have both "recovered" and already had an MRI done recently before they got sick to see if any changes were noticable. I'm guessing there are Docs looking into this right now. You're...

To those here who are are heavily pointing towards the current mortality rate to justify their opinions, I'd like to point out that there's a gigantic difference between "not dying" and "fully recovering". This article sums up a German MRI heart study of recovered patients just released...

Recap of what has transpired so far for more reference - 4/18 - re-grafted 26, 4/20 - low of 30 degrees but very windy 4/25 - re-grafted another 24 roughly 5/8 - 5/12 - lows flirting with 32. Had patchy frost in the yard and on the roof one morning . But blossoms on the old pear tree in the...

From what I remember reading in past articles we had a majority (over half) of deaths occurring in senior care facilities. I haven't seen any articles mentioning that lately, but today's stats show 83% of the state's deaths in the 70+ year old demographic with the median death age of 83...

I'm circling back to this post so it can serve as a resource for others. I regrafted a bunch this past Saturday, all the buds were swelling and some were even starting to push leaves. Cleft graft, wrapped in parafilm and a dab of treekote on the tip of the scionwood. We also had no signs of...

Our shepard-husky mix has some liver issues that she's on other drugs for that prevent her from taking any of the NSAIDs so we went the CBD oil route. If I didn't see how much it's helped her with my own eyes I wouldn't have believed it. She's pushing 15 years old and I firmly believe we've...

NE PA - search whatever search engine you prefer for "laser strip tags". Looks like most places sell in 1000's but some have smaller quantities

Thanks everyone, looks like I'll be keeping an eye on the buds.

I've got a handful of B118 rootstocks I planted after grafting last year where for whatever reason the scion died but the rootstock is still going and I'd like to re-graft them this coming spring. I know I've read several of you guys mention regrafting but I can't find any recommendations for...

I hope I didn't come across with a "poor me" attitude, that wasn't my intent. Just wanted to share that it's not a guarantee GRIN will work out. It looks like I could have been more thorough and eloquent with my research statement, maybe next year I'll give it another shot. And yes folks here...

My GRIN order actually got denied last week. I had put "Evaluate wildlife usage with minimal tree care after establishment" as the purpose of my research. Less than 10 minutes later I got a response stating "Thanks for your interest in our plants. We are only able to support research...

Thanks everyone. Sounds like I should make some time to get the bags buried in the vegetable garden just to be safe.
