Anyone had any luck getting hold of Gil at Skipley Farm. Specifically asks you to email before ordering to confirm availability, but I’ve seen no response from repeated emails.

Nobody else is answering emails either it seems…I’ve got two I’ve enquired and or ordered and haven’t a clue at this point if they’re in the grave or hibernating?
I sent an order out for 5 scions… but so far it’s not been acknowledged.
I’ve had better luck texting with him. Phone number is on his website.

Davidson Sweeting but no luck.
The other items will be shipped in March the email says.
Thanks Brandon - I’ll give that a try.

There are so many great places to get apple scionwood. It’s been my life long goal to get pears to the level of apples. Pear scionwood is really hard comparatively to obtain.

I noticed apples and even figs are much easier.

About Singing Tree: Richard Fahey lives on 90 acres near Oxford, NY, (midway between the Catskills and the Finger Lakes) with his wife and those of his 12 children who still live at home. Singing Tree used to be known as the Catholic Homesteading Movement, and the property has no electricity, no telephone, no indoor plumbing, heats with wood, has no motorized vehicles, and the family relies on what they grow for what they eat. He corresponds only by U. S. Mail. Some children left as soon as they could because of their harsh upbringing.

I occasionally source plants from there. The quality of plants has been good. The quantity of hype from the owner has been excessive.
