Well, despite grimo having their 89 cultivar in stock, they are done shipping to the US. I tried to submit an order and it was canceled. Apparently they do all of their shipping in one go to the U.S. with all the documents and inspections required. Don’t get me wrong, it totally makes sense for them to do it this way, it just stinks that I’m a year out from getting a replacement for my 89 that looks like it bit the dust.

It may yet resprout from the roots for you to graft next year.
Don’t feel bad, I had a big tree fall over in a wind storm crushing two of my heartnut trees this year. They are respouting from the sides, but I also lost 5-6 foot of growth.
Cliff England has a lot of the Grimo cultivars. If I were you, I’d buy some scion wood from him.
isn’t he done with scionwood for the year? I would think his plants are further along and I’m past scion wood stage at this point.

The Cliff England PDF scion list on his website only names Grimo twice. once on page 1 #9 “Grimo Manchurian Heartnut walnut” and page 34 #24 “Simcoe 8-2 Grimo’ s nursery, (GN) Heartnut walnut 2018”. Heartnut is mentioned several times but none appear to be grimo cultivars. Simcoe is sold by Grimo, but not a grimo cultivar, so maybe that second one is just listing it as the source.
it did. I cut it out
Scion wood alone is pretty useless for me. I don’t graft.
