Do any members sell or exchange apple scions?

I might graft a some cider variety trees in the Spring and I'm wondering if some scion wood might be a available from some HBT members.

I had my Dad send me some scion wood last winter. He was worried that they might not survive the trip. They all took except for a few that came from a very old tree. It's great to think that pieces of the farm I grew up on is here with me 2000 miles away.

Unfortunately, I don't have any cider varieties, just the usual baking/dessert apples. But a scion wood exchange is a great idea.

No, I did not google. I have been lurking on this forum for a while.

Here are two sites I am aware of for trading scion wood.

What rootstocks do some of you prefer?

 

[Womblesd]

for my area, i prefer mm111, a large semi-dwarf that is drought tolerant & grows well in heavy clay soils. its my understanding b118 is better up north in extreme cold.
