Budwood is not a tree, yet!

Budwood is the same portion of the tree as scionwood, just collected in August, and used for bud grafting. We use the fresh shoots from the current year. Similar to scionwood, these buds determine what variety the grafted tree will be.

We collect budwood from trees in our test orchards and are happy to be able to offer rare/heritage varieties!

History: White Knight was created at the fruit breeding program in Vineland by University of Guelph professor Jayasankar Subramanian. Subramanian specializes in developing new varieties of peaches, plums, nectarines, and cherries for the Ontario market. 

Why We Grow It: White Knight is a variety of white peach that produces a tangy, sweet, and juicy clingstone fruit with a hint of raspberry flavour and a tender, chewy texture. The skin is a vibrant ruby red overlaying whitish pink, making it a rather lovely peach.

Each budwood will have at least 5 viable buds. Since we specialize in so many varieties/species, there will be natural differences in growth habit and vigour so some varieties may be shorter or thinner. We will provide the best quality we can, within natural restraints.
