Apple scions

Post by derekamills »

I have just over 300 varieties of apples, and scions are available, for the majority of them, for purchase.

My website is www.hockinghillsorchard.com

Nicely organized site Derek. Hope you sell lots of scions!

I checked your "wants" list. Never heard of any of those.

Hello Plumfan,

Thanks for the comment. I love doing the web site even though it is time consuming trying to keep it updated. I have a couple of the varieties listed on my "wanted" page just haven't moved them off that page yet.

Will you and your wife go camping this Spring at the place where you found the red fleshed apple last Fall? If you do and if you find the tree I will be curious to know what color the blossom will be.

I laughed at your comment the other day about the power going out and not having access to "apple" stuff. I either drag Joan Morgan's "The Books of Apples" or Beach's "The Apples of New York" with me to work to read. And I have already read them numerous times but always find something new.

talk to you later,

Derek

Hi Derek,

No I don't think they allow camping at this particular wildlife refuge. I think I have seen signs that say not to be there after dusk and before 5 am or something. Thanks to you, I may just go looking for pink flowers now. I hadn't thought of that angle before. Thanks!

I was thinking... I could graft my stick of the red-flesh apple and after I am satisfied that it took, I could hurry up and mail you whatever remains, if you want a start of it this year. That way you could be a year ahead, instead of waiting for scionwood this next winter. I am happy to give you whatever remains after I graft.

I will be going to a scionwood swap on Saturday. You have any special wants in the red-fleshes that I can help you with? You already have Winekist? lemmeknow

Too bad about not being able to camp at that site. That is like the nature park/nature preserve where I volunteer. 5,000 acres but be out by dark unless there is a sponsored program. I think I told you about that place, I found the old home site with 50+ apples laid out grid pattern. We determined from a plat book the apple trees were probably planted in the late 40's to late 50's.

Pink flowers are not always indicative of red fleshed apples but I bet they are at least 80% of the time.

I would love a piece of that cutting after you are finished if you have anything, thanks.

I wish there was an apple scion swap meet around here to attend. Usualy the only scions I see are mine. I give apple grafting programs at a couple of different parks and a historical society around here and sometimes people will bring in something from an old tree they have and give me a cutting.

talk to you later,

Derek

Derek,

Is there anything preventing you from packing in seedling trees or graftings and growing them on the 5000 acres? If that is a go, I know what I'd be doing! Plumfan-appleseed! I really need to change my name :) Plumfan is not doing it anymore.

I think I will pack in some seedlings grafted to proven parents to this Wildlife Refuge of mine. It will surely alter the genetic balance over the next century, especially when introducing crabapple genes for scab resistance. There are numbered selections available for that purpose. They were shown to be superior breeders by Rutgers, Illinois, and Purdue Universities.

So I packed the Refuge's best trees to my place, and then I pack good trees into the refuge. Sounds like a wild and crazy plan!

I picked up another dozen or so apple scions at the swap meet. I payed $5 at the door for admission, and scions were free! They had literally hundreds of apple cultivars, hundreds of pears, lots of grapes, persimmons, paw-paw's, Kiwis, and a ton of other stuff. I would say at the initial opening there was between 200 and 300 people milling about the tables, masking tape and marking pens in hand to label scions they chose.

I think I will make you a mailing of all my leftover "public" wood (plus the red flesh one), when I am satisfied for my own needs. You got plenty of rootstocks available? or branch stubs?

Hello Plumfan,

I read your description of the scion swap and said wow! What an event that must have been to attend.

Yep to the rootstock, I have about 100 left over from last year and have 200 more coming for this year.

Derek,

Would you please formulate a list of your absolute apple wants? I plan on seeing a friend tomorrow who has almost 4000 different kinds of apples and can likely fix you up with some of the ones you want

Please put them in alphabetical order.

Derek,

Sorry I did not have a chance to see your list for the last couple of days. BUT, my friend must NOT have had those var's, as I saw your order on the very top of the pile. I just glanced at the pile and there your name was. So you would have ordered from him if he woulda had it, am I correct?

He and I share apple interests, but the other reason I was there is because he needs 5 acres of wine grapes off the ground. So we are installing the wires and posts to make that all happen. Oregon sure does make some killer red wines, merlot-style. I have never had anything quite so good as this particular grape. It is Foch. wow.

Check your PM's.

Hello,

To answer your question about which apple is best for all would be impossible <grin>.

I love Pink Pearl and Blue Pearmain for eating fresh. Esopus Spitzenberg and Newtown Pippin for pie making. Foxwhelp and Kingston Black for cider making.

And that is just when they are in season. When they are not and something else, that becomes my favorite.
