I grafted new Persimmon exclusively. I always like adding new things. The olke scions grew like magic and under drought conditions.

This is the shape and form of a mature/productive Korean Giant/Olympic Pear.
In contrast, the wider shape of a Kiefer Pear. Both trees were planted the same day. The Oriental blooms later so it's blooms are less likely to be damaged by frost than Kiefer.

The Korean Giant is the best eating pear... period, and sells for $2 each in stores. Last year I had very few Kiefer Pears because of late frost, but I had lots of Korean Giants. Korean Giants drop during bow season, and they are hard and last on the ground until eaten. Kiefers drop about a week or two later... if they produce!
In fact there is lots of regeneration as there should have been all these years! Nothing replaces rain!
I like seeing your success with growing things, especially things from the Brushpile.

Didn't have as much luck with the 3 suckering cherry trees you sent me. Only 1 survived, the other 2 never sprouted.
Amazing, I thought I got more root this time! In any case you should have your own suckers in a year or two. Suckering Cherry goes wild!
