Scionwood
Scionwood
All scions will be cut into 6-8 inch lengths — enough to graft 3 trees. It will arrive wrapped in wet newspaper and plastic and needs to be kept like this in a fridge until used in spring. All scions are $5.00 each + freight.
All propagation material is sent out in winter, when the plant material is dormant. Orders must be received by the end of May each year. Sorry - late orders cannot be accepted, however you may place an order at any time of the year - it will be processed for the next send out.

Peach Scionwood
If you are ordering peach scionwood you need to have either a plum rootstock or a peach seedling rootstock to graft it onto. If you are ordering Marianna cuttings to grow your own plum rootstocks from us they will need a year to grow before they are ready to graft. If you are ordering peach stones from us they will also need a year before they are ready to graft peach scionwood onto them.

Pear Scionwood
Pears can be grafted onto either quince BA29 to achieve a dwarf tree that fruits earlier, or pear seedlings which grow to huge trees and take years to fruit. Some pear cultivars are not compatible with Quince BA29; all of those offered here are.
