Seckel pear plus what?

12 years ago

Hi,

I'm interested in trying to grow a seckel pair espalier in the Northern Virginia area against a fence. Can I plant now or should I wait until Spring?

Also, I was planning to graft a branch or 2 of another variety (or 2?) onto the tree for pollinating and was wondering what others would suggest as good pears to tack on. Would a Dana Hovey work or is that too close to the Seckel? I'd like the look of the 2 to be somewhat of a match in terms of leaf size, etc. Unfortunately I don't think I have room to grow a whole separate tree.

Thanks.
