Thanks Alex. I'm sure that would help. Normally we use it up long before any freezer burn starts. For some reason, we were slow using up that last bag. It's used up now and we have purchased another bag. If we wrapped the chicken pieces in moist paper, we would have to thaw it to remove the paper. As it comes from the store, loose in the bag, we can just pull out 2 or 3 pieces and my wife often puts them in the oven, still frozen, and adds seasonings of different types. They turn out good.

To get back on topic...

I've been thinking about the person who thought maybe freezing scions in a solid block of ice would crush it. I'm thinking I may freeze a scion that way, leave it frozen for a few weeks, then try grafting it, probably back on the same tree. It wouldn't prove how long the scion would survive that way but I expect it would prove it does not get damaged by the initial freezing process.

Steve, try to store your freesed chicken wrapped close in a multilayer moist paper to see if the mentioned dried out areas arise. Dont forget that the chicken is dead and boiled. The scion wood is living matherial.
Nevertheless I told my experience to help persons having the problem with moving buds.

That isn't quite true. Again, I can't use actual scion wood as an
example because I have never frozen any scion wood.
However, we do buy frozen chicken breasts in a big zip-lock bag. If we
don't use it all in a few months, there is some visible freezer burn
(dried out areas on the surface of the chicken) and there is a handfull
of ice crystals, much like snow, in the bottom of the bag. Obviously,
water moved out of the chicken pieces and into the rest of the bag,
even
though the plastic bag is sealed shut.
