Oriental Pear got blown over

[cutman]

We had some heavy wind 2 days ago, and 2 of my two year old pears were damaged. One of them snapped about 2 feet off the ground. I pruned it below the the break...hopefully a new sprout will show up above the old graft.

The other tree, an oriental pear, was blown over but didn't snap. I could find no outward sign of damage, but it definitely can't support itself. I staked it and left one of the shoots that popped up above the graft in case the top does.

Anything else I should do?

Looks like you did all you could do. Now it's just wait and see. I bet they both make it. Always hidden buds just for emergencies like this.

No I think you have done all you can do.
