Hi everyone. Looking forward to next winter and spring, 2020, I would like to source some Graniwinkle and Campfield scions. Can anyone help me out ?
I have all 3 if you catch me in January. Best to PM me now with an email address since I rarely check this forum any longer.
I also participate in the NA Scion Exchange Facebook group. My orchard is rounded out with all I want (mostly cider and perry varieties), but I still offer scions to those that’ll cover shipping. I usually limit it to 10-12 people though to not make it work.
Thanks to everyone that has participated in this thread and responded. I have one Harrison tree on G-11. This is it's second growing season and it has reached 8-9 feet which is as tall as I want it. If it flowers next year I'm debating on letting it fruit a little. Some say with the dwarfs to let them go 4-5 years before letting them fruit? What say you? The Harrison is kind of a cool variety, to think that it is a direct descendant of trees that existed at the time of the revolutionary war. Truly a bit of Americana. I plan on growing the Campfield and Graniwinkle on a 6 foot high espalier.
You can save some money by grafting your own, but why not shave a few years off the project and just buy a tree? I'm pretty sure Cummings and some others sell Campfield, not sure where you can get Graniwinkle.
I have Harrison and Campfield, but had some rodent problems last winter and now I'm not sure if they'll survive.
