The first year I froze scions it worked beautifully the second year I did it 
differently and it was a total failure.
The first year I put the scions in a plastic bag then submerged it in a 
three gallon jug which I put in the freezer. I took them out in mid June and 
grafted them and the takes were nearly the same as for scions that weren't 
frozen.
The second year I tried to save space by putting them in bags and then in 
small, long trays filled with water. The water didn't cover all of the bag 
and so there were areas in the bag taht weren't protected by ice but rather 
only by a thin layer of plastic (between it and the freezer air). Thus I 
believe the failure.
