We have opened up our website for orders of scionwood. Right now you can order genetic material to graft chestnuts, heartnuts, black walnuts, pawpaws, American persimmons, Asian and European pears, apples, plums, mulberry and new this year…Cornelian cherries. check it out at on our scionwood for sale page.
We offer high quality scion wood at $5/linear foot. Quantities of some varieties are limited and may be sold out already. Shipping is $16 to cover handling cost as well as postage. The only exception is heartnut. Some heartnut is so thick we need to use very large shipping boxes. We will alert you if there are extra shipping charges.
Deadline for ordering Apple and Pear scionwood is February 15. All other scionwood orders will be due March 1st. Scionwood will be shipped in February or March, depending on what you order. We do cut the scionwood into 6 inch leangths to facilitate shipping.
We now have videos available to help you with your grafting.
Tom’s favorite grafting method, Barn Door (Mega-Chip), is highlighted in the paper Barn Door Graft . A more complete write up of grafting techniques is available in the paper Practical Grafting .
Videos: You can watch Tom Wahl gathering scion wood; demonstrating the barn door graft; and caring for grafts in the videos below. The Savanna Institute hosted a one-hour Facebook/Zoom meeting with Tom using these videos. The recording of that presentation with the Q & A is below.
Remember, place your order soon. We have to stop taking orders in March. – Kathy
