   Tree and Scion Sales – Winter 2020

  
  

  All HFS events are on hold until further notice.
  

   

  Due to the on-going COVID-19 situation, we will probably not run our annual tree sales and grafting demonstration day in August. Instead, we will sell scion and one-year-old trees by internet order this winter – pre-order and collect or have them mailed to you.

  We expect to have:

  • -          A list of 1-y-o apple trees to choose from - $25 each. Until sold. See below.
  • -          A list of apple scion to choose from - $3 each. Enough for 2 grafts if possible. Subject to availability. All the varieties in our orchard are potentially available. https://www.heritagefruitssociety.org/page-1860643
  • -          An apple tree which we will graft for you. We will keep the tree for 6-8 weeks (until the graft takes – then mail or pick-up). $15 each pre-paid. If the graft fails, your money returned or a new tree grafted. Any variety in the orchard, subject to scion availability.
  • -          A small number of one or 2-y-o plum trees grafted on Marianna dwarfing rootstock - $25 ea. In pots, mostly too big to post, so pick-up only.
  • -          Postage extra.

   

  The Process

  • -          Email heritagefruitssociety@gmail.com with your request. In order of receipt we will advise you of availability and calculate cost, including postage.
  • -          If we have what you want, deposit the appropriate amount in our account.
  • -          Once payment is received, from July onwards, we will post to you or arrange for you to collect (probably Fairfield or Templestowe).
  • -          Postage estimate. Scion $9. Trees $20. Check with us before paying.

• Working bee at Pettys, Sunday 7 June

  • When
    Sun, June 07, 2020
  •  
    9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (UTC+10:00)
  • Location
    Petty's Orchard

  Working bee at Pettys. We can now have 20 people maximum, and we rarely have that many, so anyone is free to join us.

  If you are coming - morning tea will be available, but feel free to bring any of your own if you are not comfortable with sharing. Boiling water will definitely be available.

  There are still a few nets to remove and store. The mower is back in action, and there is plenty to do (and it's a solitary activity). We haven't checked all the trees for some time, so a walk-around is in order. Also, catching up on what you have been doing over the last 2 months.
