Title: Re: scion wood
Hi Joe,
No problem with any of your requests - I have all
three. The Centennial fruited for the first time this past summer. The fruit is
in the same size range as the Dolgo Crab, but with yellow and red colouration,
not the intense Dolgo carmine. I meant to take a photo, but by the time I
remembered, the local wildlife had enjoyed a night buffet.
As for timing, I'm going to try and get to the
scionwood earlier in the dormant season. I had a talk about timing for
cutting scionwood with Shelly Paulocik, from Woodwinds, and she's thinks that
earlier is better, since the buds won't have had to endure the various winter
stresses of freeze/thaw cycles and harsh, drying winds. It seems quite logical
to me, so I'm going to give it a try this year. Can let me know if you chip
budding or tongue and whip grafting, since it can make a difference for length
of branches, etc.
I have also added my list of apple varieties, plus
my most wanted list, for anyone who wants to have a look, or recognizes a few
varieties in their possession.
Cheers, Bizmark
ps - I love Ashmead's Kernel - picked up a
bunch when I was in Michigan in Sept. - had to force myself not to eat them too
fast. They were fantastic then, so, I wasn't able to save one or two to taste in
the new year. I did manage to pick up a couple bushels of Golden Russet from
some apple folks near Creemore, which should supply the family all the way into
winter. Yum, yum. Can't wait till our own trees can support us with fruit well
through the winter.
