The graft of the Boho South Christmas Pear is taking off on a quince rootstock. The Boho South Christmas pear was discovered in an old orchard in Boho South by Terry Frewin, it starts ripening just after Christmas and being quince compatible to a fully grown tree 1/4 to 1/5 the size of one on a pear rootstock makes it even more valuable. We neede to get a system to handle the discoveries that should be coming in from all the searching out of the many old abandoned orchards and other early plantings. I would start with suggesting that we work with groups who make discoveries in their area trying to establish the different varieties in their collections either as single or multigrafts. Then when we have information on the fruit, ripening times, flowering times and such we work on making the varieties available throughout the network. What are your thoughts?
