Scions for 2018/19 ?

[Lardman]

Before I hack my trees about does anyone want anything saved.

No thanks, no room for trees

Do they survive 2 days in the royal mail system ?

[Lardman]

Dormant scions for spring grafting certainly do, I can't say I've tried it with bud wood but I can't see any reason they wouldn't.

Young seedlings last in the postal system so scions should fair even better.

Im up for your best tasting plum/gage please and will bud onto the nectarine. Where does one send the wine tokens to ?. Think my opal looks a bit sad so wondering if it has silverleaf , canker or just worn out after long summer so not sure on using that. Did add some lime to lift ph yesterday.

Lardman is there anything you would like or on the hunt for?

Sorry INRIP the only healthy plum I have is blue tit which had it's hair cut during the hot weather, the rest have terrible canker and I wouldn't risk sending out wood from them.

Oh you know me, just the best tasting, most decease and pest repelling apple, pear or plum, which I can eat raw and cook with and will keep until next summer

Failing that, anything interesting

Has something tickled your fancy? I should do a list for people really shouldn't I.

INRIP - I can do Aprimira for you if you like. It is a small sweet yellow plum. It has grown and fruited well with little pest and no disease (touch wood)



Pic above L to R - Victoria, Opal, Aprimira, Czar

Lardman - I have been given permission to take scions from a community orchard so am planning a big grafting sesh this year especially as I lost a few in the nursery section. I am the same as you anything interesting. The only named variety I have on my wish list is winston / winter king. Most of my trees are iffy this year all I can offer is Apples - Charles Ross, Worcester Pearmain, Bramley, Sparten. Plum - Aprimira. Pear - Williams. Quince - Vranja. Peach - Avalon. Fig - Brown Turkey, ?Brunswick.

Norfolk that would be much appreciated, the yellow amongst purple (if I can do my bit correctly) would look great. The two figs would be great too. Can I ask what the other 3 plums in the pic are ?

I have edited my post with variety names.

I can sort you some out no problem, central leader nice and fat.

Can I tempt you with some tupstones ? Tupstones - Worcestershire Orchards : Worcestershire Orchards and the super early Dodin Doddin - Worcestershire Orchards : Worcestershire Orchards if you like a green apple taste. If you prefer a more American style I can just about get a scion of my (as yet unconfirmed) sweet 16 https://www.orangepippin.com/apples/sweet-sixteen


The rest of the usual suspects are:

Pears
Beth
Onward
Winter Nelis

Apples
Pitmaston Pineapple
Gala
Orleans Reinnette
Egremont Russet
Spartan
Queen Cox
King of the Pippins
Bramley
Dodin
Gladstone
James Grieve
Tupstones
Christmas Pippin
Winston
Kidds Orange Red

Being rather slow to realise more than one variety can be on the same tree. I have just worked out after giving the apple tree that came with this house 2 years ago, its first year of TLC, that it is two varieties. Seems to be a good idea as they are slightly different maturity date and add variety to the eating. Probably other benfits like keeping but not got that far yet.
