I'm out this week doing final prep for winter of my couple hundred young 
trees, mostly apple , some pear.  This is my first year to be able to gather 
scionwood, to use here - and  for exchange.  We have an inch of snow and the 
coolest temp so far was 12F. However, most of the trees still have their 
leaves and some look downright untouched.
How does one know when a tree is dormant enough to take scionwood?   When 
the leaves start to change color / or can be easily stripped off?  or when a 
certain degree of frost has been reached?   or?     thanks, Del
