collecting some scion wood today

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

collecting some scion wood today. in cold climates with a long winter this can be preferable to the spring time, so long as you have a strategy for storage that’s at least as good as outside on the tree. storing in the new root cellar where I can keep it cool and humid, probably bagged in some peat. one more advantage here is varieties that are not quite cold hardy here can be grown, just need to graft it out every spring.
