GRIN is a USDA project to ensure genetically diverse specimens are available to researchers. Apples, pears, grapes, cherries, oats, wheat, ornamental plants, native species. Wide variety available for free. For apples, you can get scionwood for spring grafting, bud wood for summer grafting, and seeds from the wild apple trees they brought back from expeditions to Kazakhstan. For grafting apples, they prefer you get the common varieties from other sources.
The scionwood I received from them last year was great quality and I know for a fact that I got at least one successful graft on each scion variety. Can't believe it's the only government program worth a crap lol

I will order 1 or 2 varieties. Not doing more than 10 grafts this year so with my success rate I probably will graft 15 roots. Will get mine from them I think
I've heard great things about Black Oxford, Gravenstein, and Scarlet. 100% I've caught the grafting bug, so I'll most likely do a few multi-trunked trees in our orchard. They're all old (50+ years). they were basically neglected other than trimming dead stuff off. I'll be doing lots of grafting next spring!
