Speaking of ethylene, was wondering just how sensitive scionwood is to
ethylene.  I have several scions stored in the refridgerator, but since we
try to eat healthy, we also store fresh fruits and vegetables in the fridge.
I try to keep the produce in the bottom and the scions in the top.  Can
ethylene enter the plastic bags the scionwood is stored in?  Can I tell if
the scionwood is being harmed by ethylene or will they just quietly die?
