I went to the Home Orchard Society scion exchange in Portland Oregon last March. There were hundreds of Apple scions, pomes, stones, of all types for free after a small door charge. I bought an HOS membership at the door and with it I  got in no charge.  Nick Botner was there and there were root stocks and grafting for a charge, potted plants.  The scion exchange is an awesome event that every explorer should check out.

A fellow who owns an orchard near town plans to buy rootstock and graft whatever I can bring to help him with. Since I'm still new to apple growing, I have only three types of scionwood available in my yard or in a friend's to bring to this opportunity. I hope to introduce a number of heritage cultivars that I believe will enhance what these folks already grow - they run a U-pick and squeeze apple juice each week thru the picking season.
 
Looking at Nick Botner's list, I see it would cost me $78. for wood and shipping to obtain only 17 sticks of as many cultivars. If I wanted two sticks of most of them - well, my usually reasonable spouse takes a dim view of such an enterprise at this time.
 
Can anyone offer these at some savings (and be sure to label 'em accordingly)?
