Acclimatising & Unboxing Fruit Trees before you Plant them

You just received New Plants

When you bring home new fruit trees and plants you need to acclimatise them. This involves making sure they have enough water and a sunny position. We recommend at least 1-2 weeks hardening them up before planting them.

Young Plants

For plants that you purchase that are small and young. It is also recommended that you pot small plants into a bigger pot size. You may need to do this 2-3 times each time going into a larger pot size. This is particularly important when growing plants outside of their climatic region.

Youtube  - Unboxing and Acclimatising Young Plants

We show you in great detail all these procedures to ensure that your young plants will have the best chance of survival.

Scion wood is the horticultural term for the wood being grafted onto a rootstock, generally rootstocks are seedlings, maybe a year old, and a matching thickness for the scion wood. Scions are collected from a mature branch from the selected variety. Grafting is one technique used to propagate known varieties of fruit and nut trees, the offspring tree will produce fruit that is identical to the parent tree. It will also start to fruit withing 2-3 years, where as seedlings may take up to 8 years to mature to fruiting age.

Scions can also be grafted onto existing mature trees, which gives you the opportunity to create multi-grafts or enrich your pollination potential with a male branch on a female tree. 

Our Shoshoni (B) scionwood will be available in August, for example. and can be grafted onto our pecan seedling products, Apache or Riverside, or as a multi-graft onto one of our other varieties. The video linked below shows Kath, our favourite YouTube host, demonstrating how easy it is to create a multi-grafted citrus tree.
