How to fill out scion wood storage

How to fill out scion wood storage:

1. Start by selecting healthy scion wood branches from the desired plants or trees. These branches should be about the thickness of a pencil and have several buds.
2. Remove any leaves or side shoots from the scion wood, leaving only the main branch with the buds intact.
3. Cut the scion wood into sections that are around six inches long.
4. Place the scion wood sections in a moist storage medium, such as damp sawdust, sand, or perlite. This will help keep the scion wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out.
5. Store the scion wood in a cool, dark location with a temperature ranging from 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit (0-4 degrees Celsius). This could be a refrigerator, root cellar, or a dedicated scion wood storage box.
6. Regularly check the scion wood storage to ensure the medium remains damp, but avoid overwatering or allowing it to become waterlogged.
7. Store the scion wood for the recommended period of time specific to the plant or tree species. This varies but is typically around 1-3 months.
8. Finally, when it's time to graft, remove the scion wood from storage and prepare it for grafting onto the rootstock.

Who needs scion wood storage?

1. Gardeners and orchardists who practice grafting techniques may need scion wood storage. Grafting allows them to propagate desired varieties of plants or trees onto rootstocks, creating new plants with specific traits.
2. Nursery owners or those involved in plant propagation may require scion wood storage to preserve and store scion wood until it is ready for grafting or sale.
3. Researchers or breeders working with plant genetics may also find scion wood storage necessary to maintain a collection of different genetic variants.
