Your order will once each year. then be dispatched to you by Australia Post. If

you have provided us with your email address, you will be sent an email at this time to notify you WHAT DO I RECEIVE WHEN I PURCHASE A SCION?

that your scions have been dispatched.. The scion (cutting) you receive will be packaged in a sealed plastic bag. The scion wood will be packed with a small amount of moisture to maintain the humidity required for short-term storage.

HOW DO I STORE THE SCION WHEN I RECEIVE IT? While ideally it should be grafted onto your existing tree or rootstock as soon as you receive it in the mail, the scion may be stored effectively in the crisper section of the fridge for 1-2 months(or longer). Storage instructions are on the bag. The packaged scion should be kept in a cool place (fridge) where it will remain fresh and dormant until spring. Do not store scions with (or other ripening fruit), as apples emit ethylene gas, which encourages scion’s buds to break dormancy.

HOW DO I ‘USE‘ THE SCION WOOD? Many fruit trees do not run true to type if their seed is planted. For this reason, they are most often propagated vegetatively by grafting scion wood onto rootstock or an existing tree. www.thelostseed.com.aWHEN IS THE BESTu TIME TO GRAFT THE SCION ON 2 TO MY EXISTING TREE? The Lost Seed It is best to graft in the spring, from the time the buds of understock trees are beginning to open, until blossom time.

WHAT TREES CAN THE SCION WOOD BE GRAFTED ON TO? Ideally, young, vigorous fruit trees up to 5 years old are best for grafting scion wood onto. Older trees of almost any age can be grafted on to but with more care and different techniques.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED? Secateurs - for making rough preliminary cuts Grafting Knife (or a very sharp regular knife) - for making the grafting cuts Grafting Tape - for securing the graft to the tree / rootstock.

HOW DO I GRAFT THE SCION WOOD ONTO MY EXISTING TREE? There are a number of grafting techniques which are able to be used when grafting scion wood onto an existing tree / rootstock. These include the ‘Splice or Whip Graft‘, ‘Wedge or Cleft Graft’, ‘Whip and Tongue Graft’, ‘Side Graft’ or ‘Bark Graft’.

If you are new to grafting, it is highly recommended that you purchase the book ‘Grafting,& Budding’ by W. J. Lewis and D. McE Alexander. This book illustrates and discusses each of the above grafting techniques as well as provides other useful information. ______

KEEPING OUR HEIRLOOM FRUIT VARIETIES ALIVE……..

We are always looking for lost or undiscovered heirloom vegetable and fruit varieties.

Our roadsides are especially rich with wild fruit varieties that may have existed many years before and yet go largely unrecognised even though they may be passed by hundreds of times per day. For example, the ‘Huonville Crab ’ with scarlet red skin and red coloured flesh was discovered in Huonville, Tasmania. A huge old tree growing by the roadside, largely unnoticed, and yet producing such abundant and rich fruit of the most unusual variety.

Or perhaps down a back alley or behind a shop. They are all a part of our rich heritage just waiting to be rediscovered.

If you have any fruit trees which you feel may be on interest, or would like to register your tree, please let us know. We’d love to hear from you, and it will help us in our efforts to keep these varieties alive.

NOTE: Scion varieties listed may be subject to change depending on availability. Prices are subject to change without notice. Catalogue current from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018. Unless indicated otherwise on order form, if items are ordered but are currently out of stock, these items will either be substituted for a similar variety, or placed on backorder & forwarded to you as soon as possible, unless otherwise indicated.. ______

QUARANTINE & SHIPPING Please note that we are able to send scions to all states of Australia except Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania. ______
