Online
Online we currently sell “Scion Wood” and “Cutting Wood.”
Local pickup for Scion Wood and Cutting Wood only at the El Sobrante Farm as it costs us time and gas to get it to another site. Pickup at the Farmer Market may be available in the future, let us know if you are interested in adding this feature. (if there is enough interest we will explore if this is a viable option or not as it would require refrigeration away from fruit)
CUTTING WOOD
All orders of cuttings wood will have enough material to make at least 2 compact cuttings, or one large one depending on your methods.
SCIONWOOD
All scionwood will be enough to do at least 2 grafts unless noted otherwise. If we only have smaller scions available we will send 2.
In-Person
Seasonally we sell our jam and fruit at the El Sobrante Farmers Market and at the Good Table / Planting Justice Nursery site in El Sobrante.
We have 2 - 5 fruit tastings a year look out on our social media for them to be announced.
We also welcome volunteers! Click here for more information:
SHIPPING
Cutting and Scionwood will be shipped from El Sobrante via USPS. These are seasonal and will be put into stock for presales and will be sent during the spring season as available.
If you have a specific date you would like to receive the wood by please put that in a note.
Dormant Cutting wood will be shipped Jan - March.
Dormant Scion wood will be shipped Jan - April.
Greenwood Cutting will be shipped Sept - Nov. These are more fragile, but will root well during the fall. These may require a different shipping rate as we will want to get them to you as fast as possible.
No combining orders or replacements, unless we have contacted you because something is out of stock. We are a small team taking care of a 4 acre farm and this creates too much administrative work for us at this time.
ARRIVAL & CARE
Upon arrival most propagation wood should be refrigerated until used. If wood has different needs instructions will be mailed.
Cutting wood can be propagated right away.
Scionwood stores longest at cooler temperatures (35-40F), but be sure not to freeze. It can also be used right away, or stored until conditions are right to graft.
Using while fresh is best, but it is also important to graft when temperatures are right. Grafting should be done while the scionwood is still completely dormant, but after temperatures have warmed up some and the rootstock's sap is starting to stir. Necessary temperatures for successful grafting depend on the type of tree being grafted.
GUARANTEE
All plant materials are guaranteed to arrive in viable condition to be able to grow into a plant. We can not guarantee whether they survive and are successfully propagated or grafted into the desired plant, as success is determined by the skill and resources of the propagator or grafter. We take great efforts to make sure the varieties we send you are accurately named and labeled, we can not be liable for any mistakes made this way. Please contact us if you feel a variety is mislabeled and we will do our best to replace it with the correct variety, or refund the purchase price when necessary.
