Three things people call “grafts.”
Scionwood is a cut piece of a variety you want to reproduce. It is joined to a rootstock, the root system that determines how big the tree grows, how it handles your soil, and how it resists some problems. A grafted tree is the finished result.
Knowing which one a grower is offering matters, because they suit different goals and different times of year.
- VarietyThe named cultivar, such as a particular apple or pear, as the grower identifies it.
- RootstockWhich rootstock is used and what size tree it tends to produce.
- FormScionwood, bare-root tree, or potted tree.
- SeasonWhen cuttings and trees are available. Grafting is seasonal.
- SourceWhere the wood came from and how the grower knows the variety is true to name.
Some plants come with rules.
Rules for shipping plants and cuttings vary by state and species, and some newer varieties are protected by plant patents that limit propagation. When a listing involves these details, we’ll show what the grower tells us and point you to the source rather than guess.
