I am delighted to announce that one of my grafts has taken. The other two don't look any different than they did when I grafted them but this one has new growth on it.

I can't work out whether that bottom one is above or below the graft, I'd need to remove the wax and tape to find out and I think it is a bit early for that.

Shame about the other two, I suppose there is time yet. But I only need one to do what I want:

I've no idea how long it will take to do that. I hope to get a pear off it before I die, I'm feeling older than my years at the moment :(

Yes looks good. Yes too early to take the wax off. think late May or June. 3 ish years for your family tree.

Thanks for sending me the quince cuttings but unfortunately they didn't take. I abandoned the poor dry things today, but it was worth a try. I owe you postage for those, PM me your email for PayPal.


cheers

Ah, sorry to hear that. No worries on the postage, it was a stamp.

Three years?! I'll be dead by then. I want September by the latest :)

Poor you. You just have to stay alive. Tough.

Thanks re the postage :)
