I have Luther Burbank July Elberta Peach (excellent) and Gravenstein Apple (also one of my favorites).

Looking for Indian Free peach (not cling).

Thanks for the responses so far, still looking for most of the varieties. I have a decent selection on My Page which will be available to trade. Help!!

I could fulfill quite a few of those but for now on I'll only do it with a self-addressed and stamped envelope or package with instructions on how much weight I can put in the package.

I'm just too busy to be packaging up and mailing out scion wood to on-line friends.

Harvestman thanks, please send me your address, better yet, do you have a Paypal account?

Harvestman: I'll do you one better, I'll come and pick them up. Or I could donate some labor at about the time you cut scions. (Something easy, going to DD. or "can I put an edge on those lopers for you".)

harvestman:

I am in need of bittersweet and bittersharp apple scions for hard cider-making. I am happy to send a SASE, if you
can tell me where to send it, and to reciprocate, if anyone needs something I have.

Examples, by no means comprehensive, of varieties I'm looking for:

Bittersweet

Brown Snout Improved Dove
Chisel Jersey Knotted Kernel
Dabinette Somerset Red
Fillbarrel Tramlett's Bitter
Harry Master's Jersey Yarlington Mill

Bittersharp

Foxwhelp Kingston Black
Breakwell's Seedling Dymock Red
Stoke Red Browns Apple

My email address: Nimzo911@astound.net, but subtract one from the number.

Thanks,

Nimzo

I too would like to get some Wickson crab. I have Whitney and Geneva crabs I could swap. The only other "interesting" apple I have that is big enough to get much wood from is a Graniwinkle I got from Vintage Virginia Apples as a sweet for cider making. It is a pretty vigorous tree and I'll be pruning it as soon as I get time.

I will see what I can spare from my 2 Wickson grafts I did last yr.

Take a look at Masonville Orchards in CO, they probably have what you are looking for. www.masonvilleorchard.com

I have Prune d'agen

Wally, I stuck up for the possibility that you weren't flogging your own nursery and were actually just providing a useful service.

I was mistaken. My apologies to those whose time I wasted.

Sincerely,

Mark

I have Jonagold and Satsuma, would like your Jonathan, Spitzenberg, and whateverelse you have enough of to share. Have other varieties too - but those are the ones on your list.

Please message me at ebacherdom9@gmail.com (remove the 9)

Imred, Surprising how your apple list paralles mine! I can't supply any from your list,but I have some Granny Smith and Smokehouse.I am new to grafting and this is my first attempt!!

Do any of you cider makers happen to know if any of the bittersharps or bittersweets are resistant to Cedar Apple Rust? I'd like to get one of those, and I have a friend who is also in that market. In the best of all worlds, there'd be one that is not only CAR resistant, but also a decent bearer, since I believe some of the cider apples tend to be shy bearers.

Chuck

Red, I received your scion wood today. Everything looks great and thanks for the extra helping of triple crown cuttings. Thanks

Scion wood to trade, see 'my trade list'.

You're welcome Ace. In fact if you want some rooted tips of Triple Crown let me know. I will probably have to pull some up and throw them away
RED

Red, last season I buried some growing raspberry canes tips exposed and got them self rooted. I don't know if dormant sticks will root. Yes, send me the rooted canes they would be easy to get going. Thanks

I have williams pride and mollies d to prune this spring. The snow Here is still 3' deep and I won't get to the orchard till about April 1 give or take. If you still want them then email me then. As for a swap any older apple except cortland mac or spy.

Hey guys - I've got new contact info if you'd like to swap again for 2012. wagonwheelmail at aol dot com Thanks, Rick Godsil

Are you folks able to get my e-mail address from this site?

Rick:

These are public forums that show up on google searches--it is a VERY bad idea to be posting both your name and e-mail address in messages, unless you really really enjoy SPAM. Your My Page allows individuals to e-mail you directly, it's the safe way to have GardenWeb people contact each other.

Carla in Sac

Thanks for the concern Carla but I'm out there already. My orchard website (and dozens of other pick-your-own and pomological sites) has all of that info anyways - I've never had any spam issues.

I was cleaning the freezer yesterday and found 3 bags of scion's I said I would mail to you last spring. I am sorry I forgot. I have to prune the same trees this spring I hope to remember then. It s*** getting old.
Raven

Thanks Raven - I know what you mean! Have you or anyone else had left over wood and tried to graft with it the following year? About 75% of the 2010 scions I have look totally fine. I kept them exactly at 34 degrees with damp (not wet) paper towels in ziplock bags. I have some dormant potted M7 and M111 and I was considering grafting them now and storing them in a cool place (garage, barn or basement) just to see what happens.

I have grafted year-old wood and found the takes were not super high - maybe 20% when I did it. It probably depends a lot on how good the storage was, freezing could also improve longevity, as long as it was not too cold -- 20F or so. I had mine at 40F which was not optimal.

Scott

I paid $5 a stick for some of these so anything I get would save me some $s for 2012 - I'll give it a try. I have some home grown M7 from suckers that I can experiment on for no out of pocket expense. Do you know how many chill hours the rootstock needs before starting something like this? Everything has gone dormant here - its been in the 20s at night and 40s in the day for a few weeks now. Thanks!

One of these days I may have scion wood to trade but my trees are not rare and some may still be under patent. However if I accumulate many of Scott's, Harvestman, Fruitnut's etc suggestions that may change.
Dan

I just collected a bunch of heirloom apple scions yesterday and I'm looking to swap! Red I sent you an email. Anyone else up for a trade send me an email.
