Scion Wood

Scion Wood

Modern apple trees consist of two parts: the Scion wood and Rootstock. Both parts are needed to replicate trees. The scion wood is grafted onto the rootstock and tells the tree which tree to grow. Every Scionwood taken from one tree is genetically identical to other scions from the same tree. This tree can therefore grow and if Scionwood is taken from the newly grown tree- it is genetically identical to the parent tree. 

Scion wood is harvested roughly at two different times depending on which grafting technique one uses. Scion wood harvested in winter is bench grafted. Scion wood harvested in summer is bud grafted. Roots to Fruits Nursery can ship both of these options and will ship to whichever date is closer unless otherwise requested. Summer Scionwood ships in August and Winter Scionwood is shipped January-April. 

We do not certify the Scion wood as disease free nor do we claim any cleanliness standards. Scion wood should be stored above freezing and stay hydrated and free of mold. Summer harvested Scion wood should be grafted immediately upon arrival or should be stored in a cold environment, above freezing, and hydrated. 

Scion wood is typically about 10-12" long, may contain numerous buds, and is ordered in sets of 1, 10, and 25.
