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.
Hello Marta, how thick are your carob scions (roughly speaking). I have 2 year from seed potted plant I want to graft on and unsure if it is thick enough.
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to know if Kei Apple Dense Female #1 will ever be available?
Thanks!
They vary in diameter. I could cut thinner but those will probably be more in the greener side. The dense female #1 will hopefully be available in a year or two . I just grafted rootstocks with it. It seems in my cold winter they need the tap root to grow well. My plants from rooted cuttings never grew well . Our ground is pretty cold in winter in the Central Valley
DeleteThanks for the response. The scion size for carob was perfect. I saw videos online of people grafting it and they were using inch and half thick scions, so I got worried. Excited for the dense female #1 in the future.
DeleteAny idea when orders on Dec 12 will start shipping?
ReplyDeleteWe get a pretty large amount of orders on the first day of sale. We shipped as many as we could before the rains came. We hope to start cutting again this weekend and shipping next week. However, if your order contains apples, quince, or anything else what is not dormant yet, we will start cutting those in a couple of weeks. I had a couple of videos on YouTube explaining this. Send us an email if you need your order by a particular date. https://youtube.com/shorts/KbiqqkSsLDE?si=-K-WFWJi0dBDCnLh
