I have spent most of today tabulating, cutting and packing for the 2016 apple scion wood send out. NO MORE REQUESTS PLEASE I have to call 'halt! at some stage and with some 60 requests in I have now committed every spare moment to dealing with all this precious and fragile plant material in the time I have. It's an early spring versus my work and travel commitments.
PS it is an enormous pleasure to hear from so many of you about how you have succeeded with previous year's grafting material. Thank you for all the positive feedback, without which I would not have carried on doing this. It is a pleasant thought to consider that when our earthly lives are over, some of the scion wood we grew and distributed will be growing trees and preserving this valuable food plant genetic material bequeathed to us by our worthy gardening ancestors.
