Scions
Scions
You can pre-order for 2025 up until January 31st, 2025! Please read our product details carefully:
We have well over 300 fruit tree cultivars in our test orchards, and enjoy finding new cultivars every year to add to it. While we have over 100 different mature trees, in the past couple of years we have added many new cultivars. We source our material from trusted sources, but we like to wait until our trees product fruit to be sure they are true to type prior to selling material from them.
This again makes our 'availability' list quite messy and changes quite a lot from year to year, and this is why it is best if you simply contact us regarding scions. If you are interested in scions, please email sales@silvercreeknursery.ca with your wishlist.
Due to the nature of nature, we cannot be sure of the exact numbers of available scionwood until we cut them. We suggest having a few substitution options as back up, as we don't have time to contact back and forth in spring when we are cutting scionwood, pruning, picking and packing orders, etc.
ORDERING & SHIPPING SCION: Orders must be placed by January 31st, 2025 for the spring 2025 season. 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.
Due again to the nature of nature, sometimes scions begin budding out early and we want to ensure you receive dormant scion that you will have time to graft with. If you need to hold you scion dormant until May, you will need to decide how you will do that. It is relatively simple, and you can learn more about storing scion 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. We will provide the best quality we can, within natural restraints.

Shipping vs. Pick Up
Shipping vs. Pick Up
CLICK HERE to see how shipping compares to pick up.
Shipping: Every year we ship thousands of trees across Canada (except BC due to CFIA regulations). We carefully bag roots in damp sawdust, then box them and send them out via courrier. CLICK HERE to see our shipping policy.
Pick-up: We also have thousands of trees picked up from our nursery each year. The pick-up options is free, though you must wait until you have been emailed a confirmation that your order is ready to pick up, which will have further information such as hours, locations, etc. We really appreciate if you can make an appointment to pick up, then we can be as organized as possible during our busy season.
