Turning a TRASH tree into a FRUIT tree! SEE RESULTS!

You are supposed to say 'this one weird trick' to maximize the algorithm.

Awesome! Thank you again David. I had a lot of fun doing all of the grafting! Glad to see that it wasn't a complete failure lol.

The power of graft compels you!

You know it's spring when you binge all the David the good content you can while trying to keep chickens out of the garden

I must conquer every Bradford Pear in America!!!!!!!🤣 I thought Clemson giving fruit/nut trees in return for eliminating your Bradford Pears was great. This is what Johnny Apple seed wished he was… DAVID THE GOOD!!!💯

Several years ago I Googled "can you graft fruiting pear onto Bradford pear?" and I found plenty of online discussions ridiculing the idea. Keyboard experts. I now have about 150 baby pears growing on a tree I grafted onto a Bradford stump, and I have about 20 other pear trees I've grafted, all onto volunteer bradford/callery pear trees. It's satisfying to turn weeds into fruit trees, and it's great to get free rootstock.

David the Good is my favorite YouTuber. I finished reading Grow or Die and am almost done reading Compost Everything.

Would love to see an update on this project! Randal mentioned buying scions online today at Scrubfest and I think I'm ready to do a little chainsaw problem-solving on a huge unproductive pear in my backyard and give it new life. It was a great day with you all!

Thank you 💡 can not allocate the funds for all the fruit trees I would like to grow. Thinking of just growing from seed to get the root stock and then graft the good stuff next year. Lord willing.

Love your shirt. Love this topic. We have a lot of native bitter cherries and crabapples. Grafting is a great way to utilize what you've got. I used sheep to manage suckers and weeds in the orchard.

Been enjoying @Flowmatonfamous videos a lot lately! Thanks for collaborating!

I grafted some plums and apples for the first time last spring at a workshop. When I got home and after I put my new trees in the ground, I took all the little leftover bits from the apples and grafted them all to a vigorous but non-fruiting apple seedling I grew from seed that is about six years old. Every single graft I stuck on that seedling is growing and looking huge and healthy a year later. I'm excited because a couple of the little trees I grafted on rootstock did not make it through the year but the rootstock is growing so I have material on my big tree to try again with.

What a great idea! I'd love to learn to graft and make trees with lots of varieties of fruit. I remember reading about one at a university with over 40 varieties of stone fruits. That's very appealing to me.

I don't know what cracks me up more, the Go Outside T-shirt or the the ominus drums right before a random guy with a chainsaw.

Bradford pears are worse than weeds. Darn things are the primary source of spring allergens where I live. I'm glad you made it a good tree 😊

This is like a marvel dc cross up! Two of my faves in one place. Epic!

Grafting with ther bible, great lesson! btw 2/100 Moringa have showed willingness to join the cool temperate party, mission on ;)

You’ll have to give us updates to you’re beautiful pear tree. I loved how you quoted psalms 1, so beautiful and fitting. Remember to pray over your tree, I always pray for a God harvest over my gardens every year. God bless. ❌⭕️🙏🏽♥️

As a kid when I visited my granny we harvested "inaccessible" mangoes with a bamboo stick that had a hook attached at the end, and we caught the fruit them with a bamboo stick with a net attached on the end.

We've got several Bradford pears -- going to have to find some scion wood and try this!
