Rootstock & Scionwood
Rootstock & Scionwood
Every year we get tons of requests for rootstock and scionwood. While our main business is in the finished product (grafted fruit trees), we also like to support those wishing to learn the grafting process for themselves. We can attest that it is a very enjoyable (and rather addictive) pastime!
Rootstock - We are accepting requests for Spring 2026 rootstock orders; please contact us directly if you are interested in being added to our waitlist.
Scionwood - We are accepting requests for Spring 2026 scionwood orders; please contact us directly if you are interested in being added to our waitlist.
For those new to the grafting process, we also offer the following resources:
- Our annual in-person Apple Grafting Workshop!
- Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone, a handy grafting guide co-authored by Steph who owns Silver Creek Nursery!
- The award-winning Complete Fruit Tree Grafting & Budding Online Course that Steph helped to develop and run!

SCIONWOOD SALES HAVE ENDED FOR SPRING 2025!
If you are interested in scionwood for Spring 2026, either email us with your requests or sign up for restock notifications below.
For those looking to graft heritage and unique quince trees, we are happy to provide scionwood directly from our orchards! See below for our Spring 2025 selection. Descriptions for most varieties can be found on our website and in our catalogue!
ORDERING & SHIPPING SCION: Orders must be placed by January 31st, 2025 for the Spring 2025 season and we require a minimum 25% deposit upfront. We will be shipping all scion orders in either the 2nd week of March or 2nd week of April; you must choose which ship date you want when you place your scion order. Either put your requested ship date in the notes during checkout or contact us directly.
Due again to the nature of nature, sometimes scions begin budding out early and we want to ensure you receive dormant scionwood that you will have time to graft with. If you need to hold your scionwood dormant until May, you will need to decide how you will do that. It is relatively simple, and you can learn more about storing scionwood at home here. If you are picking up your scion order, we recommend doing so ASAP after you receive your pickup notification via email.
Size: 12-18" or 30cm+, as available*. If a scion is less than 6" or 15cm, it will be discounted accordingly.
*Since we specialize in so many varieties, they each have a unique growth habit and vigor. Some cultivars will produce long relatively thick scions, and others tend to produce shorter, thin scions (see photos to the left). We will provide the best quality we can, within natural restraints.

If you are interested in scionwood for Spring 2026, please email sales@silvercreeknursery.ca with your wishlist. The exact selection will vary year to year as some varieties mature and we experience different growing conditions.
