It’s not too late to order scionwood, but as March zooms along, the window for collecting scionwood is drawing towards its inevitable conclusion. We’re still cutting and will be for the next two weeks. If you’re interested in wood for grafting, please check out our list and place an order now. We also have an assortment of apple and pear trees for sale. Check them out too if you have a chance.

Also, keep in mind that the 29th Seed Swap and Scion Exchange at MOFGA is on the last Sunday in March. It‘s exceedingly fun.

Speaking of which, I spent a chunk of today sorting scionwood. I double (or triple) bag it in plastic garbage bags and then store it in the basement where it’s about 45F. 40F would be even better, but 45 is fine. No need to wet it down or wrap it in damp cloths or paper towels. Never put it in the freezer!.

It rained early and was above freezing all day, though it never hit 40. It won’t be long until we can’t walk on the ponds. So we’re pruning back vegetation along the edges while we still have good access. March goes by too fast!
