Sounds good! I'll be home on Sunday!Anyone expecting scions from me, or any other kinds of seed I am planning on shipping end of the week. The only persons who might be delayed is Aero's because i'm still waiting for a package from Maple Valley.
Here is a list I sent to Ed last year about the scion wood I have or should have available this year as well

I was able to successfully graft all but the Northwest Greening from Eds list because he never sent me any LOL By the way Ed those are all in the ground and hopefully will make it through the winter. they will get a good test this week with temps going down to around zero. There will be limited scion from the apples I planted this past spring

Christmas Apple?
Nope, just red. That apple is likely the oldest apple still being grown, it dates back to the Roman empire. They're called Christmas apples because they used to be (still are in some places I imagine) incorporated into Christmas wreaths...they remain firm well into winter.
The other name "Lady" is allegedly due to the habitat of women (during the middle ages) keeping one hidden in their bosom...they could take a bite of it to freshen their breath.
Didn't know you were gonna learn that today did you? ;)
Lady is a small apple...likely what would have been called an applecrab back in the day ;)
If you are expecting scions from me, I sent the last 4 packages out today.
Keep in mind that Zestar! is a protected variety and has a US Plant Patent. Knowingly propagating them without license is strictly prohibited. Now, if one of our generous apple men on here were to have a bit of a wind storm knock off a few branches of an "unknown" variety and were to send you a PM asking if you would like some of these aforementioned "unknown" fallen branches, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. ;) Never know what your grafting or getting from scions like that, and if some apples happen to look and taste a bit like Zestar! then so be it.:D
Next year I am sure we will get a bad snowstorm around this time next year.Oh boy, I didn't know that, my bad. However if such a gentleman were to have a travesty such as a forceful wind damage such an unspecified tree, however unfortunate I would surely accept with a grateful smile the unknown variety to use to propagate such a lasting testament to the unknown as previously mentioned..
