Branches?

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.

Please describe what McKelvey pears are like. I'm not familiar with them.

Thank you for that information. I'd done a Google search on McKelvey Pear and came up empty.

Anybody tried out the cold snap pear? Bred in canada in the 1970's. I thought they said it can go down to zone 2. Ripe right around when keiffer is.

Place I have a tree order has them, trying to say no. But have a few pear rootstocks lready coming.

Got an itch for red splendor too.

Hey all

I am looking for Granny Smith, white limbertwig and aunt Rachel.

I have a pile of Apple and pear varieties to exchange or can just pay you for yours. Don’t have my master list on me at the moment.

Scion shipping seems to be a roll of the dice this year.

A member shipped me scions from New York and they arrived right away.

I shipped two, nearly identical packages to members in Missouri and Michigan at the same time. The one shipped to Missouri arrived promptly. The one shipped to Michigan has been in transit for 15 days.

A package of scions was shipped to me from Missouri 11 days ago and is still in transit.

For what it's worth, the person behind the counter at my local post office recognized what I was shipping and told me that First Class has been getting scions to their destination as fast as, or faster than, Priority Mail. I don't know if that's true. That's just what I was told.
