I have a potted Saijo sitting in the garage, awaiting transplanting. Being as it was dry and could stay that way for a few days, it seemed like a good time to prune it. There was one crossing branch that had to go. Had a flashback to some posts I read here, and wondered if it was of use to anybody else. It is roughly the diameter of a pencil, and even has some lateral branches. Never having stored a scion, I put it in a plastic bag along with a damp piece of napkin (not touching the wood), and threw it in the refrigerator. My questions - is a branch like that of use, and if so, is that an acceptable way to store it?

You stored it about right. It would be highly useful to someone wanting to graft Saijo onto their tree. Perhaps save for the scion exchange if you don't want it?
