Perry Pear Project Grafting

  • We're getting ready to order some material from the National Clonal Germplasm Repository for the Perry Pear Project for grafting this fall.
  • We're hoping to T-graft three varieties of Perry Pear onto OHxF 513 dwarfing rootstock and plant them in the test orchard in Millersville.
  • We've also begun a new Raspberry patch in an effort to mix native wineberries and non-native raspberries berries for a better local cross.

The new Raspberry Trellis with 5 different varieties.


More updates soon.

Otherwise, the 2010 vegetable garden is growing well and several heirloom seed varieties are producing admirably. Of particular intest are the black beans, which were killed to the ground by a late freeze and are now totally back and going crazy!


The Corn, beans and squash; already 3 feet high before June 1st!

Stay tuned for more news!
