Yesterday was scionwood gathering day. These grafting sticks are from local apple trees making them the best material possible. We will be doing grafting onto rootstocks in a few weeks — so stay tuned for grafting announcements. Until then, the scionwood will be stored in the refrigerator and wrapped in damp paper to keep them fresh.
Four varieties were pruned from the dormant (pre-budding) trees.
- Smokehouse
- Northern Spy
- Chenango Strawberry
- Summer Rambo
