It was suggested that the better way is to dip the ends in
some sort of wax to "seal" them, and then store them dry. Will they dry
out like this, and will
the drying not kill the scions just as surely? Any thoughts or advice?
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.
