Stone Fruit Scionwood
Stone Fruit Scionwood
For those looking to graft heritage and unique stone fruit trees, we are happy to provide scionwood directly from our orchards! We generally recommend budding stone fruits in the summer rather than bench grafting in the spring but we have scionwood available for those who are interested! Please contact us if you are interested in budwood for the summer.
We offer a wide selection of scionwood which will be listed further below, separated by species. The exact selection will vary year to year as some varieties mature and depending on the growing season.
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.

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.
