Topic: Annual Scion Exchange
Our annual scion exchange will take place in person!!
It will be a grafting demo/scion exchange for L.A Chapter members only, please.
Bring plant materials to share (seeds, cuttings, scions, etc.) PLEASE DO NOT BRING SCIONS FROM PATENTED TREES.
NO CITRUS PLEASE! (Help prevent the spread of Citrus Greening Disease.)
PLEASE LABEL YOUR SCIONS CLEARLY with fruit type and variety.
• Scions should be 1/4” – 3/8” diameter (pencil size) and contain several buds (2 -3 minimum).
• Bundle by variety in a moist paper towel(s) and place in a ziplock-type bag, leaving a slight opening in the bag for the wood
to breathe. The towel(s) should stay damp while the wood is stored.
• Label each bag with fruit variety, as well as any additional information you feel is pertinent (i.e. minimum chilling hours;
pollinator needs; vigor; where successfully grown, etc).
• Please include your name on the scion bags, in case people have questions.
• Keep scion bag in vegetable bin of your refrigerator until the morning of the exchange.
Be careful not to let the scion wood freeze!
