A friend of mine has a daughter who wanted to be an arborist and after researching grafting techniques she started sneaking into a neighbor’s apple orchard to secretly graft pear cuttings onto his trees. She was 14 at the time. I heard his pickers were a little freaked out about it a couple of years later. She now does a pretty big business in orchard science and health for growers.
I see that all the time, but it is the squirrels that move them around. What I do not understand is where they get the peanuts that they leave on our deck, they are not grown around here.
