National Clonal Germplasm Repository Donation

Yay! The National Clonal Germplasm Repository approved our request for Ancient Pear tree varietal scions this fall! Our trees should arrive after the fall season winds down, and our trees will be in the ground by spring!

Here are the varietals we requested:

Blakeney Red: PI 541151 - COR - Pyrus communis

Taynton Squash: PI 541271 - COR - Pyrus communis

Yellow Huffcap: PI 541287 - COR - Pyrus communis

Red Pear: PI 541317 - COR - Pyrus communis

I will be grafting or budding onto OHxF 97, OHxF 333 or OHxF 513 Pyrus Rootstock. Right now I'm leaning toward OHxF 97, but we're still trying to find a good source.
