CRFG cache

[CA Hockey]

I've been to 3 of the scion wood exchanges this year and made out like a bandit 

I got my hands on the following:

Apricot   Cultivar
   Luizet
   Goldbeck's Perfection
   Tropical Gold
   Tardif de Bordaniel
   Golden Amber
   Gold Kist
   Shiro Kaga
   
Peach   
   JB 47 White Peach (locally named cultivar after Jim Bathgate)
   
Nectarine   
   Sauzee
   Flavor Top
   Panamint
Plum   
   Green Gage
   
Pluot   
   Flavor Treat
   
Cherry   
   Lapins
   
Avocado   
   Queen
   Nabal
   Daily 11
   Yamagata
   Edranol
   Nimlioh
   Ardith
   Linda
   Choquette
   Nowels

Cherimoya
        Booth


Mulberry
         White lavender fat
          Persian

Fig
         Conadria
         Fig 9336



The San Diego meeting is next. Anyone grab anything interesting? I hadn't heard of Flavor Treat or Flavor Top, but apparently they are mainly commercial varieties and not really widely released to the public. Daily 11 is a very large avocado but I heard taste is average. I hear a lot about choquette avocados from Florida and was told it is a typical West Indian variety (not my favorite profile) but willing to try it out. I don't know anything about Linda avocado.

Does anyone know if the scion exchange at LA Arboretum is of significant size? I missed the Orange county one.

It (foothill CRFG) scion exchange is very small compared OC.
What are you looking for?
They have a lot of deciduous and grapes.  Some cherimoyas/ atemoyas. Avocado stock has not been high, but I know a friend is bringing some avo scions.  Sometimes I bring dragonfruit, but I don't have much DF this year.

Did you get the black madeira from this year's exchange? I thought I saw it at the OC event but when I went back to the table I saw a lot of black mission but that was it. Didn't see it at the other meetings.

Im hoping to go down to the foothill meeting as well but will probably only have some apple and stone fruit as my avos are pretty small and I've given away most of those cuttings at the previous meetings.

I met someone at the OC meeting who says she grafts mangoes now and near perfect take. She said she grafts just before they push new growth and panicles with excellent results -- seems to go against everything I've read about on this forum. I may try it.

Sorry i dont think i made it clear these are varieties that im hoping to acquire through the scion exchange. I know that i probably wont find everything on the list but im hoping to find at least 30% of the total list and hopefully at least one variety from each type of fruit on the list.
