Did you get peach from ARS (i.e. Davis repository)? I had thought they stopped shipping orders to non-researchers but I have a package that showed up today. I think I may have put the order in before they changed the policy.
I placed an order from Davis last year, days after the deadline, so I missed out last winter from getting anything. I did get an email confirmation back then though. I have not seen anything, and given the policy change I probably wonātā¦
But I hope youāre right about honoring orders placed before the change. I teach and have used the cuttings to show rooting, so that is the reason I have generally listed.

I was just notified by e-mail that my package is on the way via UPS.
Iām glad that yours is on the way. Iām still waiting for the notification.
I got mine a couple weeks ago and I never received any shipping notification.
Iām guessing things are wrapping up. I just got an email from Dawn in reply to mine from last month. She said theyād been real busy filling requests, and that they have no mechanism to accept donations for the time being. Enjoy the gift.
I submitted an order for ten things from Corvallis and they were all accepted weeks ago.When clicking on the ID number though and opening up more info about the item,some read that they are not available to order.So I donāt know if those will be sent. Brady
The Corvallis site is currently under a quarantine due to bacteria problem. No scions from that site until further notice.
Anyone receive anything from Davis?
Okay,thanks Matt. Brady
I just received the notification this morning. So happy to see it.
However, they had my street number wrong. Iāll have to contact UPS later and hope they will allow me to change it. Iād hate to have to trouble Geneva site to help with this since they are busy enough.
I just received my package of apple budwood from Geneva right now. The sticks are huge.
They were able to provide 2 of the 3 varieties I requested:
-Sweet Sixteen and
-Red Fuji BC#2
I am still looking to obtain Red Gravenstein. I found a backup source that will be a hassle to pursue, but thems the brakes.
I am thankful and glad to have received what was provided.
I can just say from past experience the GRIN folks have always gone above and beyond. I got beautiful Mirabelle and gage scions from them last year, there are a few people here I am sending gage wood to because of their help (Mirabelle got deer-pruned this winter to where they pulled the graft completelyā¦ 
)
I have worked with Corvallis, Davis, and Geneva at different times, and they are all greatāthey arenāt in the business of just sending stuff out crazy, but they seem to still be pretty understanding of hobbyists if youāre nice. They are a tremendous (and in my case, tremendously patient at times) resource.

I can look for Red Gravenstein for you at our exchange in a few weeks.

Murky,
Thanks. That would be great.
SO I took a closer look at the scion wood I received from the USDA a few weeks back. Didnāt notice it at the time but they got one of the 3 varieties wrong that I had ordered. Instead of Goldrush they sent me DāArcy Spicy. I know nothing about that variety. Is it worthy of planting in the Mid atlantic? I have since received Goldrush from another member here so itās not a huge deal but was curious about DāArcy none the less.
Thanks Chartman. It gets perfect marks at Orange Pippin but admitted a small sample size. Not the prettiest apple but looks to have some disease resistance. Probably worth trying.

Oh no. Thats good to know. Youāre in my neck of the woods. Maybe Iāll look into something else. Was considering a crab like Chestnut or Wickson.
