Devon Scion Day

This informal ‘bring and buy’ mini-market will allow you to obtain scions or to exchange well-labelled scions from your own trees. If you wish to bring well-labelled scions for sale/exchange please arrive by 10.30am.

A scion is a shoot of new growth about 12inches (30cm) long for grafting onto a rootstock. With scion, rootstock and grafting skills you can have the satisfaction of producing your own fruit tree(s).

Everything you need for grafting will be available for sale: knives, tape, wax and a limited number of rootstocks, (M25 and MM106 for standard and medium-size trees; please check info on our website before event). There will be demonstrations of grafting as reminders to those who have already learned the skill.
