Looking for Venus scion wood, I dont need more than 4 pieces. Thanks

Does anyone know of a nursery that sell them?
Thanks!

Hi, I have a Comice pear in my back yard. The tree is about 6 years old and even though it blooms profusely it doesn't fruit. I just found out that it needs a pollinator, so I was thinking on getting scion wood to graft into it to hopefully get it to bloom. My question is. Does any one have any recommendations of what particular scion wood to get and where can I buy it? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have 3 olosapo seedlings that I would like to graft, is anyone here selling any scion wood? Thanks!

Hello!
I am looking to buy some jujube trees. I will like the Sugarcane, Honeyjar, Contortued and Sheerwood.  Thanks

This question may be clear for many of you, but I haven’t found the answer yet.
Does it matter what time of mango do I use to graft another onto it?
For example, if I have a manila grafted mango, can I graft Valencia Pride or Lemon Zest on it?
I know that there are some variations in growth but if I want to top off the manila and just let the scion grow will it make a difference?
I know that there are the Indian family of mangoes and the ones that we get form Mexico. Can those two be put together?
I am just trying to figure out why some of my healthy looking grafts didn’t take on a perfectly good manila and one that was turning a bit yellow grafted on a Raposa it’s growing.
Used same cleft graft and clean between cuts. Is it luck or what I am doing wrong? Please help! Thanks! Xenia

Hello mango experts!
In El Salvador I used to eat "mango manzano/a" I don't know the correct name for it, all I know is that when it was green it was sweet, not sour like the other mangoes in the country, I never ate it fully ripe, but I need to know if any of you know what is the scientific name for it, and where I could buy a small tree.

And can anyone explain to me why my post doesn't show as "new" topic even though I press the "new" button? Thanks in advance! Xenia

I know it may be earlier in the season, for the States  but I will love to know who sells and ships Ice Cream bean fruit from this forum. I grew up eating this fruit and I will love to eat it again. Thanks in advance.

Hello members! 
I am getting ready to cover my plants for the winter and I want to have the right material; previously I have used Burlap from Home Depot, but they still got frost damage, so I am reaching out to you guys to see if you have a better idea of what to buy instead of burlap, and where to buy it from before I actually need it. Thanks in advance! 

Hello! I went to visit my aunt in EL Salvador and she has this orange/mandarin tree in her front yard. The fruit is very juicy and heavy producer. She said that he tree only produced about 700 fruit this year, but last year it was about 2400!. She sells then for $6.00 per 100 fruit so she keeps track. No body knows what it is other than the fruit is juicy and some fruit seem more like mandarins than oranges, others more like Valencia oranges but they all taste the same. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

I know its not the right time, but I found some mango trees that I wanted to graft here in the US, and I managed to get some scion wood. Since I don’t have the trees available for grafting right away, I was wondering how long I can keep it in the fridge before it goes bad. I went just by the description of the mango fruit since its not mango season in El Salvador and they belong to family members; it would be a surprise to me when if I get some fruit out of them. I just want to experiment!

This is a cry for help form the all the Jabo collectors.
