Scion Exchange

A scion is a young shoot or twig of a plant or tree, especially cut for grafting and rooting. Scions are used for propagating trees by grafting a desired variety onto a suitable rootstock.

How does the Scion Exchange work? We will have over 100 varieties of scions available for purchase - many of which are heirlooms - as well as root stocks and other grafting supplies for a nominal fee. Admission is free to the exchange.

The scion list of varieties that will be for sale at the 2019 Scion Sale is available.  Click here to download a spreadsheet that shows the names of more than a hundred apple scions that will available for purchase.
