just came back to town and thought i'd prune this week, do you think it's too late?-i have two lovely santa rosas that give up lotsa beautiful friut and an old peach tree that gives many big delicious peaches about every other year- i'm interested in trying to start some grafts of the peach myself- ring me @ 503 493 2785 if yr interested
Nester; It’s not too late to prune, I’d say you’ve got a full two months around here 
Though the plumbs bloom early; my latest technique for peaches is to wait until after they’ve bloomed to prune. It’s worked wonders on my neighbor’s peach trees! They will have pollinated, so you can ‘dodge’ the future fruit (in the form of dried pink blossoms), and they will be ‘growing,’ so as to seal themselves quickly after the pruning cuts and keeping out some of the many pathogens they’re susceptible to.
As far as grafting the peach; you’d want to cut and store the scion wood (to graft) while it’s deeply dormant -- anytime within the next month would be perfect. You’ll need some rootstock to graft to… We’ll have that for sale at our HOS Spring Event -- Fruit Propagation Fair (Scion Exchange) Saturday, March 19, 2011 - 11 AM to 5 PM at the Clackamas County Fairgrounds.
We’ll have had grafting classes -- Grafting Workshops, Saturday, February 19, 2011 - 8:45 AM at the Clackamas Community College – prior the that, but don’t have peach compatible rootstock at that even… though it’s an excellent opportunity to learn to dormant ‘bench graft.’
It’s also said peaches are ‘true to seed,’ meaning, if you cold stratified a seed and planted it odds are it would become a decent peach, very much like the parent tree … though I’ve never done that and would tend to graft ‘the real thing’ to a proven rootstock.
...sorry this has little to do with the orgional request for scions - at least it's back on top
