Cuttings sale in June of 2024

Update: No shipping after June 27, 2024 and until the winter sale. The orders placed after June 27 need to be picked up in person. 

This post describes the cuttings sale on reallygoodplants.com in June of 2024.

The sale will open at 6 PM PST on June 1.

• This is our first ever summer sale of greenwood, and 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 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. Note that we may delay the 2-day shipments if the weather is too hot somewhere else, e.g. the Louisville International Airport (UPS shipments) or their destination.

• For many 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.

• Most of the material offered here should be grafted, however, there are some accessions that could be rooted. We successfully rooted all Elaeagnus species, Kei Apples, Adara plum, rose apple, grapes, and many mulberries. Here is the post on mulberry rooting abilities you may want to check. If you plan on rooting some material, I would still recommend grafting (or budding) a piece for a backup.  More about grafting in this post.

• 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 with three buds into two pieces as they might be too long for economical shipping. Some of our mulberry cultivars have 8-inch internodes.
