Is anyone interested in trading scion wood and or cuttings?
I have multiple varieties of apple, apricot, cherry, fig, peach, pear, plum, autumn olive, blueberry, elderberry, blackberry, raspberry, and grape vines.
I would be interested in trading for any of the above as well as any of the following:
Nectarine, medlar, jujube, mulberry, pawpaw, persimmon, aronia, currant, gooseberry, hardy kiwi, huckleberry, lingonberry, sea berry, wolf berry.

If your interested let me know and we can discuss which varieties of which plants we all have.
I am in NJ (on the border of zone 6-7) so the majority of what I have is pretty flexible as far as the USDA hardiness zones go. Most plants can go up or down a zone or two without any issues.

Hi Bill,
Sounds like you have a nice selection of plants and trees. I would definitely be interested in some of those heirloom apples you mentioned.
I am not sure because of the altitude but based on some of the stuff you are growing I am sure most of it would work.
I have almost 20 varieties of blueberries and a bunch of grape varieties if your interested.
I also have a bunch of peach varieties that should work as well. I will PM you and we can discuss varieties further.

Hi Clinton,

I believe very strongly in establishing as much diversity as possible in as many places as possible; so send me a pm with a wish list.

Then pay it forward as many times as you can.

Hi Zach,
That sounds good. What type of mulberry do you have? As far as the figs go I have Chicago, brown turkey, and Celeste.

Dave I sent you a PM, but this is what I have to offer if anyone else is interested: Nanking Cherries (bush cherry), Snow Apple (famuse?), elderberry.

I'm interested in: figs, blueberry, mulberry, or whatever. PM me.

We're zone six, but I'm building microclimates so I could go a zone or so warmer.

Hi,
I have been searching high and low for somewhere I could purchase some cuttings from online. I don't have any cuttings to trade, but I would love to get some blueberries and figs but only if you will let me paypal you some money for it. If not does anyone know an online resource for getting cuttings? I just can't find one...
Thanks

Sorry for the confusion.
David Tamboli that last part was meant for you. I already promised Figs to other people but I have blueberry cuttings I can send your way.
Too many Dave's and David's on this thread to keep track.

Hello,

i'm new to the grafting scene but I've been reading lots about it.

I don't really have anything to trade because simply i don't know what variety of walnut, plums and apples my grandfather left behind.

I would really like to have scion-wood from a black walnut, can someone help me?


P.s
I live in the Netherlands so it will have to be sent

Hi.  I was just wondering why you want to start grafting with walnut? I believe it's not as easy to graft as most other trees. I'm not an expert though.  Are you talking about Juglans regia?

Are the varieties you have now not good varieties or have you not been around them enough to know for sure yet? It sounds like you have a lot a trees. If they just aren't currently productive, maybe they are lacking something they need or are too crowded or something.

I'm all for learning to graft. It's fun and useful and saves money. I was just thinking some background would be ineteresting.

I like to start grafting walnut trees because I find it a very nice tree, the variaties i have now are nice but I like to experiment with new once.

we used to have lots of spruce trees but they are now gone, so I want to plant new trees. Trees that bear fruit have my intrest just because I like them.

Most of our tree are 30 years, some of them are ill and some of them can be saved by grafting.

That's pretty much why my yard is full of edibles plants. It's way more than I need. I just like them. I also like the idea of making my land produce something instead of just wasting gass mowing.
