Hi,
Did some quick research on storage...
According toNorth Caroline Cooperative Extension service:
http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/hil/grafting.html
"Never store scions in refrigerated units where fruits or
vegetables are currently kept or have been stored recently.
Stored fruits and vegetables release ethylene gas, which can
cause woody plant buds to abort, making the scions useless."
Later,
Tom
