I've had success with scions in November. Strip any leaves off the shoots you want to use. That helps push them deeper into dormancy. Leave the wood on the tree at least a day or two, or longer. Then cut and store in wet paper in closed plastic bags in the refrigerator.
Good luck.

Thanks for the suggestion, but the agreement is already signed. And I'm moving 400 mi. away. I may just have to live with having to spend $ to rebuild my collection. But I wanted to check and see if folks knew something about it all that I didn't already know.
