Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum, but have been grafting apple trees for years. I have 300 rootstocks to graft in the next few weeks. I have some scionwood, but most of the pruning I have done doesn't equate to the best Scionwood as my orchard is still getting established. I live in northern WI and have my own stool beds. I've been purchasing most of my scionwood online but it gets quite expensive. I'm looking for large quantities of Honeycrisp scionwood as I don't have much available to me at the moment. Is there anyone out there willing to sell any? I'm also interested in the "GRIN". Can someone give me their two cents?
Much appreciated,
Brandon
Thank you very much!I think I'll be pruning this weekend and should have a bunch of Honeycrisp scions. I'll let you know.
I would be happy to give them a try... I am also in a zone 5B... Pear buds seem to look bigger and they should be.I brought the limbs home with me just in case.
I can give you a couple dozen Red Haven scions. The tree is extremely vigorous, kicking out 6 foot water sprouts each year. I'm on the 4B/5A border and it has no trouble surviving, but has produced no fruit the last 2 years even with lots of fruit buds. But we did hit -30+ both winter's. Hoping for fruit this year as we didn't get near as cold.Does anyone happen to have peach scion wood still available? If not would you be willing to share some budwood? I am looking to try grafting over some native american plums already growing on my place. I am not concerned with variety, as long as it will grow in zone 5.
I just ordered some rootstock. Does anyone have the red-fleshed apple varieties they can share?
Any way I could steal a few of those peach scions from you as well??I can give you a couple dozen Red Haven scions. The tree is extremely vigorous, kicking out 6 foot water sprouts each year.

If you want them, PM me your name and address.
