My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

branches sprouting below graft

13 years ago

put new hosui pear from Stark. They marked the spot for ground level. Am getting several what would be branches sprouting below the graft, which I know should be removed. Have never have a new tree sprout out like this, with 6 or so sprouts.
It is also sprouting (normal) above the graft as well.
Any concerns? The graft is a good 3 inches above ground level.
