    I am in Toronto and very much interested in asian pears. I already have an unknown variety. I would like to graft more varieties.
    Can anyone help me get scions (cuttings) of asian pears for grafting?

    thanks
    George

    Try the folks at Harrow or the U of Guelph they might have some available.

    The only other certified source i know of is PICO at the research station in
    Summerland BC. They ahve a good collection of Asian pears

    Check out the budwood it will show you the varieties they have there.

    Cheers

    Thank you very much. This is what I was looking for.

    I checked with Harrow. They don't have asian varieties. I never checked with U of Guelph.

    Thanks again.
