Not sure if this belongs in another part of the Foro; but yesterday I planted a tree dedicated to the memory of our friend Ron.
The words on the stake say" Dedicated to the memory of Ron M - Ole'"
It's a nice strong specimen of an Asian Pear -called "Kikusui" ( a rare Japanese variety). I grafted it this Spring and it's been growing really well and should be a strong tree, with fruit in a couple of years.
I took a few shots if anyone's interested in seeing them. There's an album attached.
R.I.P. Ron.

An Asian Pear ... I wonder if you could make a guitar out of it in the future?
I dont think it´ll grow big enough, but you can make violin backs and sides out of pear.
You're right, Anders. Most of my older Asian Pears are on semi-dwarf rootstock, and rarely get thicker than 4 inch calibre. You might try a three/four piece back. But not off THIS tree. This one will stay growing for a long time yet. Much longer than me, I'm sure. . .
