Have a special cultivar you would like propagated? We may be able to help! Some reasons you may want to use this service: - You have a variety of plum you would like more of, or would like to clone before the original tree dies (just mail us the scion and we can graft new trees, grow them for a year in our nursery, and ship them back to you in the fall or following spring as 2-3' tall whips). - You have a specific variety you would like, but can't find trees for sale from any nursery (we can propagate it for you from our mother trees if its a variety we grow, if not, we can often track down scion wood and graft trees for you and mail them as first year whips). We offer two types of custom grafts: Bench grafts - Your tree is grafted in late winter/early spring, and as the weather allows, your tree is immediately shipped, to be cared for by you. This is a cheaper option, but please note that the success rate of these grafts is never 100% (we usually see 85-90% graft takes depending on species and cultivar). It is possible that your graft/tree fails for a variety of reasons, and you are assuming that risk with this option. First year whips - This is our premium offering. We will graft your tree in late winter/early spring and then grow it out for it's first growing season in our nursery. This ensures the graft takes, and the tree gets a good head start on life. We will then ship the tree to you in the late fall when fully dormant, to be planted at your location as a first year whip (small branchless tree). If the graft doesn't take for whatever reason, you will receive a full refund. Recommended for those that may not have as much experience caring for newly grafted plants. IMPORTANT: Please email us before ordering any custom trees at [email protected], or use our contact us form on the website, to first discuss what you are looking for and if its something we can accommodate. Bench grafting season for us is March through April. Trees would be ready to ship by end of November when they go dormant. We will not propagate patented plants. There is a section upon check out for you to add a note to the order. Please list any custom trees there to help us keep track of your order. *We use Prunus americana rootstock unless otherwise specified ** Please note: we do not offer trees with multiple grafts/cultivars on one tree **
