Looking for peach scions (any variety) to graft onto dwarf rootstock.

Willing to buy or trade.  Have Grimes Golden apple (Old West Virginia  Variety) scions that I will be trimming soon.

Maybe it would be helpful if we knew what size of scion you're talking about (length and width)?

First year stem cuttings.  Short 4 to 6 inches.  Only need a few.  Looking for variety.   I’ve heard that peach can be difficult to graft.

I have two trees that died below the graft. They came in the mail the year my wife was in a car accident and all gardening stopped.  I dug a trench but didn't take care of them.  They spent the winter that way.  That was five years ago. I left them as the blossoms are beautiful each spring and my family enjoys them.  The fruit of the tree are very small not worth eating.  Will probably keep one to try grafting and pull the other to replant.   I’ve ordered a Saturn from Millers nursery and hope to attempt graphing stems to the forming branches this spring of the remaining tree.  Good strong dwarf root stock.  My next stop is a seed group that I belong to.

Doug,
I'm listing two peaches in the Seed Savers Exchange this year, and I'd be happy to share them here as well.

Blood Leaf Peach - Bright red leaves in spring/early summer fading to a muddy green before being topped by another flush of red growth in mid/late summer. Small sweet peaches described as being "...in no way remarkable and yet they please some as a dessert fruit." in Peaches Of New York. A hardy, long lived tree. Was at one time commonly used as a rootstock. There is some indication that the red pigment could help protect against late frosts and so could be interesting to use in a breeding project. The original seed was acquired from a MidFEx member in Chicago, and seedlings selected for red foliage. Offering scion only this year.

I wish I knew what I have!  We bought this property, and if you slide down the hill a ways (truly slide...steep and slippery), you encounter peach, apple, plum, apricot, and all kinds of fruit trees blooming.  They are beautiful in bloom!

Next year, maybe I can send.  These are huge trees!  Would love to graft your scions onto mine and send you some to graft to yours!

I have Elberta and will be pruning it in the next week or two. Your welcome to some.

aphahn,
Thank you for posting the video.  Have been reading all that I can and this will be my first attempt at peach grafting.  You provided some good information.  I'm sending a PM.
