I hip the ends in wax (my mix includes a little petroleum jelly to soften
it) then store if freezer zip lock bags as sandwich baggies leak moisture
slowly. Mold may indicate too much moisture. I wet the paper towel then
squeeze
out all the water I can. Set the storage frig to the coldest temp. A little
frost doen't hurt. I'll start cutting in another week. The best place to
store scion wood is on the tree.
