Looks like I've got enough trades to keep me busy for the rest of the year. Thank you all very much. 


I"m looking to trade some fig cuttings for a few varieties of "other" types of fruit tree scion if anyone is interested.

I will trade 2 pieces of any given fig variety for 2 pcs of any given fruit tree scion.

Here's what I have to offer:
- Long Yellow
- Jurupa
- Blue Celeste
- Troiano Calabrese
- Beall
- Italian honey

Here are the types of scion wood I'm looking for:
- English Walnut
- Cold Hardy Almond
- Honey Crisp Apple
- Plums
- Apricot
- Nectarine
- Peaches

I'm looking for only the types of scion from fruit trees that are NOT patented. So, please don't inquire if what you have to offer is a patented variety. Plant patents acquired before 1995 have a 17 year patent protection. After '95 all plant patents are good for 20 yrs. So, pretty much any plant patented after 1995 can't yet be traded freely.

On the stone fruits, I will trade for pretty much any variety I don't already have - as long as it's reported to do well in zone 6.

I'm especially interested in several, new to me, plum varieties since I don't yet have a single plum tree in my orchard. I'm also looking at doing a nice multi-graft or two of stone fruits.

Also, if you have any of the above mentioned scion but you're not interested in trading, shoot me an email anyway. I may be interested in buying them out-right - if it's one I'd really like to have ;) .

If this sounds interesting to you, please email me at wildfruitnut@gmail.com

Thank you all very much in advance.

Bill,

I have several things you might want to try as far as plums, apricots peaches. pluot, pluerry etc... but I thought I sent most of what I have 2 and 3 years ago. Unless you are a stonecoldfruit killer like me. but if you want to PM I can send you a list, but it's pretty much what I had prior. I think I pretty good on those figs, but I am sure I could still send a bunch of sticks to you.

@ Alan.
You think Carpathian would even make it in Z6? Not that I wouldn't be open to giving it a try. Maybe someone else with some extra material will help me out this season anyway. But thank you of course.
My plan is to graft onto some black walnut seedling rootstocks I started about 3 yrs ago.

@ Phil. Thank you for your kind offer. Yes, I did receive a good number of varieties from you previously. Pretty sure I got several of those to take (pluot, peach, & nectarine I think. But no plums yet). Sadly, I left many of those scion in the fridge until well past my spring grafting window. Then I plain forgot about them in July-Aug when I might have tried some chip budding. I still have those in the fridge but not sure if they'd still be viable. Should check on them again anyway.

Aside from just having some nice stone fruits in my orchard, my eventual goal is to do a couple super multi-grafts. I'd like to see just how many different types I can get going on one tree. Just for fun mainly but should make a very interesting specimen as an experiment, a conversation piece, as well as the fact that it should prove to be quite a site - especially in the spring.

If you don't mind Phil, I would like to see a list of what you have. Very much appreciated.  

I have a lot of other fruit trees but the the categories you listed I think I have scion still of the below. I just sent off a bunch of stuff and I tried to remove those gone, but might I might be off on something. A lot of things have not fruited for me yet, but most was purchased from reputable nurseries. A few of the more common from Big box places.

Golden Sweet Apricot
Tomcot Apricot

Hall's Hardy Almond  did not take cuttings yet But think probably I could cut a stick.

I don't have cuttings but I am trying a couple Carpathian/English walnuts, but they just are not taking off for me. My moving them twice really set them back.
Stark Champion Walnut (Rodhouse)
Lake English Walnut

Alan.
That's very good to know. If you have scion in a year or so, maybe we can work something out. Thank you.

Phil.
Thank you for posting that list. Thought you'd just email it to me, but as long as you don't mind, this works fine too.

Bunch of good ones on there. I will get back to you via email. Maybe not til tomorrow though.

Thanks again.

Ok folks. Looks like I've gotten all the takers I'll need for this season. Thank you all very much for being so willing to do some trades.

There's a few of you that I haven't responded to yet but from the looks of things, I should be able to work something out with most of you. So, if you've contacted me but haven't heard back yet, doesn't mean we don't have a trade. Just give me until tomorrow afternoon to get back to you.
