Preparing Scions for Shipping

Everybody should understand that you don’t want to wax the entire scion for refrigeration. Just the cut ends that are nipped off.

Wax should be a very thin coating, also, when grafted. Too much wax and it takes about two years for the elements to diminish it and while the whole time the wood cannot breathe underneath you coating and the wood is affected in that it turns sooty black or spotty black. It’s gotta be a mildew but I’m not any scientist, I’ll tell you that. I just know it’s not natural nor good. So, look at my recipe here to do it right.
