Showing off a native pawpaw tree rootstock that has been bark grafted to the variety Petrichor 2. This graft is doing well considering its only a few months old. Grafting assists genetic diversity, pollination, and ultimately fruit production. #AsiminaTriloba #grafting
Along the trail, I stumbled into a group of native hazelnut saplings that have sprouted. These are called Beaked #Hazelnuts or Corylus Cornuta. It appears that I coppiced them accidently while creating the path in the spring. I spread mulch along the path which created an almost mound layering propogation of saplings.
