I hope this is acceptable here:
The annual Home Orchard Society Fruit Propagation Fair is the largest of its sort that I’m aware of. It was supposed to be held last Sunday, but was canceled for obvious reasons.
The scion material was retained and is available for order by mail. It’s a pretty substantial list, especially apples and pears. Only the scions are available through mail, other stuff for pick up. Details can be accessed at the following link:

The Home Orchard Society board wants to thank our many members and friends who have been loyal supporters over the past 45 years! The loss of the Fruit Propagation Fair is a disappointment to all of you, and for HOS it is a tragedy! This event is the major fundraiser for our year-long activities. So – we have a plan! We are going to offer you the opportunity to purchase scions and have them shipped to your door. Also, we will custom-graft trees, just as we would have done at the Fruit Propagation Fair. We know many of you had been planning on a new baby tree this year, and we are going to try to make that happen.
*We regret to inform you that there are no cuttings(fig, kiwi, grape) available, nor are there scions for any type of stone fruit.
