Not sure ..but as an HOS Member, I’ve been welcome to contact our Arboretum to collect budding wood…  http://www.homeorchardsociety......arboretum/

Of course, you’d have to check on that…  -- Anyone (around here) know if our Arboretum’s ok with sharing some mature buds..?

A week from Saturday is the budding workshop at the Arboretum (along with some other events).  Come learn to T-bud and Chip-bud, if you don't already know.  

There will be some budwood provided, and I believe participants will have access to budwood from the arboretum.

There's a $15 participation fee, other events that day are free:

P.S.  Rodney, where are you located?  if nearby, I'm sure some participants on this forum would be happy to share some budwood from their mature trees.  If the timing is good, I've welcomed collection of a stick or two from my orchard.  I'm not interested in mailing anything though.

Any particular varieties you are looking for?
