Dear Tanis Grif,

Your phrase "...scion breaks dormancy in storage!" isn't valid, if the scions are stored properly.

I wrap the scions in a moist (but not wet) newspaper sheets, put them in a plastic bag and keep them frozen in an refrigerator at temperature of 23 Grad F/-5 Grad C. Sometimes I cut the scions in December to avoid damage due to strong freezing upon the months January and February. Storing the scions frozen I enjoy the scions even in April and May without any degradation in their quality. And the scions buds are assured still dormant.

I use a common refrigerator provided with more accurate self made electronic temperature regulator instead of the usual thermostat.
