Fedco carries Rhode Island Greening. Here is an alphabetical listing of their current scion offering. It changes each year. the price is modest. I have bought scion from them many times. About a third of my apple varieties are from them.
Fedco is located in Maine, so at a northern lattitude and maritime cold climate. I think that bodes well for how their products do well in other northern lattitudes like this one.
If I remember correctly, they mail out scion in mid March only. Also, their scion is usually fairly small diameter. Even so, every one that I have grafted from them took and grew.
Thank you, Daniel.
I did see that Fedco does see scion wood. So far that is my best bet. Happy to hear that you have purchased scion wood from them a number of times and before and you were successful with it! Thank you... gives me some hope that ordering from them will work for me.
Oh! Wonderful! If I can't some a solution that is closer, it might be a good excuse to take a drive!!
Perhaps I could return the favor. I have a couple of varieties of strawberries that are hard or impossible to find.
Gariguette - from France. Was able to trade two plants a few years back with Mike of the Strawberry store. He was able to import a few plants. (pretty much impossible for us mere mortals... I tried!!). He retired and that new owner did not continue this variety.. so... delicious .... and impossible to get in this country.
Fairfax - Heirloom USA. Very difficult to find.
Marshall - historic strawberry for PNW.
Great info on these varieties on google.
Thank you!
I am willing to bet that RIG is on the list being offered by the Home Orchard Education Center. (the ex Home Orchard Society arboretum, forward incarnation). Also pretty sure it’s available from the Temperate Orchard Conservancy. I think you find either of them at a .org.
