Cuttings Sale in December 2025

 This post describes the cuttings sale on reallygoodplants.com in December 2025. This year we are offering wood from 594 different cultivars.

The sale will open at 6 PM PST on December 12.

 1. We will cut and ship the orders as soon as the wood is ready. The deciduous wood will be cut when the trees become dormant. The wood of white sapote, rose apple, yangmei, and avocado do not store for a long time. These should be used in under a week or two after receiving. 

We did our best estimate on the amount we can cut, and we might be able to restock some cultivars after the shipment of early orders.

 2. The information about most of our cultivars can be found on our blog and YouTube. 

3. Most of the material offered here should be grafted; however, there are some accessions that can be rooted.  We successfully rooted all Elaeagnus species, kei apples, figs, grapes, rose apple, sour cherry PV Hybrid #1, Adara plum, and many mulberries.  You may want to check out our post on mulberry rooting abilities, as well as our rooting video. If you plan on rooting some material, we would still recommend grafting a piece for a backup. 

All pomegranates root fine.  If you want to graft these, make sure to graft onto strong young shoots.  More about grafting in this post.

 4. The cuttings’ length and diameter will depend on the species.  We will supply at least 6-inch-long cuttings with at least 3 buds.  A 6-inch-long apricot scion can have up to 20 buds, while some vigorous mulberries might have 6- to 8-inch-long internodes.  On average, mulberry cuttings will be longer than avocado, apricots, and feijoa. Some mulberries grow very thick shoots. If you are planning on getting the Himalayan types like Naples, Steve Murray, etc., these may be up to 1 inch in diameter and will require established rootstocks to graft onto, or you should prepare to chip-bud onto your smaller rootstocks. 

Cuttings Sale in June of 2025

 This post describes the greenwood cuttings sale on reallygoodplants.com in June of 2025.

The sale will open at 6 PM PST on June 5.

• All species will be cut to order. This kind of wood doesn’t store for a long time, and should be used in under a week or two after receiving.

• Our summer temperatures are pretty high in June, and the shipping transit time may negatively affect the wood viability.   We will only offer the one and two days UPS shipping options, as well as local pickup in Davis, CA. Your shipping charges will be calculated according to your location and you will be presented with your mailing options. If our weather is too hot, we will postpone shipping until the conditions are more favorable. 

• For most cultivars you will find the links to our blog and/or YouTube channel. Some are missing, as we are still working on getting the pictures and descriptions for them.

• Cherry, pistachio, apricot, peach, nectarine, and loquat wood should be grafted. We successfully rooted all Elaeagnus species, Adara plum, all figs, and many mulberries. Here is the post on mulberry rooting abilities you may want to check. The greenwood cuttings can be rooted in the same manner like dormant cuttings, please see this video. They can also be rooted in a cloner. If you plan on rooting some material, I would still recommend grafting (or budding) a piece for a backup. On our YouTube channel we have the Grafting Playlist with a number of videos covering various grafting options, tools, etc.

• The length and diameter of the cuttings will depend on the species. We will supply at least 6 inch long cuttings with at least 3 buds. We might need to split some single mulberry cuttings into two pieces as they might be too long for economical shipping. Some of our mulberry cultivars have 8-inch internodes.
