i am hoping that you have some budwood you want to share, in the portland area and surrounds. i am especially interested in grafting plum and peach/nectarine varieties this season. i have peach,nectarine, plum, a few apples and pears, reply if you want trade or share, i can tell you what varieties i have. didn't feel like listing them all.
I have a young Frost peach and also an established peach that seems to shrug of leaf curl, but I don't know the variety. The few peaches I've had from it are worth eating.
If you have any curl resistant peaches I'm very interested in bud wood from them.
The Home Orchard Society has an arboretum from which bud wood can be sourced. In fact, this Saturday is the budding workshop there.
By all means, attend the budding workshop and bring your budwood to share with others. Like Jafar said, Saturday at the arboretum 9-12, followed by picnic, etc. I will be assisting at the budding workshop.
