Description

Note: scion wood is NOT a  tree
We offer high quality scion wood for grafting at $5/stick (8 inches). Quantities of some varieties are limited. Scion wood will be carefully labeled and shipped early spring. Call or email for clarification about shipping times. Some scion wood will be shipped while actively growing for green-wood grafting. Detailed grafting instructions are also available on our website at Helpful Info/Grafting.

Cornelian Cherry: This dogwood makes a medium sized shrub with growth form similar to a lilac bush. Has small yellow flowers in early spring and bright red fruit in late summer. The fruit is extremely tart, sweetening as it ripens, but still tart and cherry like.

Many varieties list below are new to Red Fern Farm. We expect the first fruiting late summer of  2025. Information is limited.
