I have an organic hobby orchard and kitchen garden in Battle Ground, Washington State, Zone 8A, maritime SW WA.

I have about 50 fruit varieties, give or take. Most are on multigrafts. I am pretty successful at grafting apples, pears, plums, cherries, persimmons, chestnuts. My orchard and garden are spray-free, which influences the choices, but I am happy with grows well here.

I’m changing direction now to more senior accessible forms and varieties, such as minidwarfs, genetic dwarfs, espalier, bush form and columnar form. I continue to keep other types but trying to prune too high for deer and low enough to access without ladder.

I’m sorry, but not up for scion exchange at this time (2021). At other times I some times exchange, locally only. Most of my grafts and cuttings have been from Fedco, Home Orchard Society, and Burnt Ridge Nursery.
