Buy or Trade for Che Darrow cuttings

[fishie]

Looking for Che Darrow cuttings. Have some extra Che Norris cuttings from Mike or willing to pay.

Thanks.

I'm still looking for Darrow myself, but would definitely recommend grabbing some Oregon Exotics female and/or male che scions from Martha at https://reallygoodplants.com/ if youre looking to spice up the gene pool.

My grafts seem to be taking well.

Fruitwood Nursery currently has the edible landscaping "seedless" variety (which really still needs a pollinator for adequate fruit production) and their own female/male scions.

Thanks for the heads up, Dan. Do you know if there is much of a difference in the varieties? Might just sell off my extra rootstock if they’re basically the same.

There is no significant difference from the limited information available online, imo.
Basically all these are just different selections with favorable vigor & fruit size, taste, and acidity.

But I think Che is really cool so ive been trying to 'cocktail' graft a few rooted cuttings and osage orange rootstock with all available varities. Long-term plan would be to do some breeding and bring in some wild che genetics too.

Thanks again for the info, Dan. I think it’s cool too for some reason lol. Good luck with the breeding project. Let me know if you run into any must have varieties.
