Hi.

Scion sales are open to the public as of today. http://skillcult.com/store Auctions for scions on figbid are also running now and end on Sunday Evening. https://figbid.com/Browse?

I’m a little late on this, but I am looking for some of my old potato onion and seeds blum shallot stock, which I’ve lost.

Apple seeds are now available to the public after patreon early access.

There is a common expression of wisdom that goes something like- “The older I get, the less I know.”

I released a new video tasting seedling apples early October 2025.

Apple pollen is now available in the webstore.

The scion auctions are over and early access for my supporters on patreon is done, which means scion sales in the webstore are open to the public.

Quite a few of you should be getting this email after not receiving any for quite some time.

Often very large, fun to eat, pink fleshed Pinker Lady.

Apple seeds are now available in the webstore.

At some point, the trees begin to fruit and the real fun part starts as we get to taste the fruits of our labors.

Once seedlings have grown to a decent size and seem ready to transplant, I put them in the ground.

I have changed quite a bit about how I store and germinate seeds and grow seedlings.

I’ve changed how I pollinate apples quite a bit.

This is part one of a series on what I would do now after a dozen years of amateur apple breeding.

Cummin’s Nursery contacted me and offered to graft some trees of my varieties.

The presentation I did on grassroots apple breeding for the Nafex virtual conference is now available on youtube.

It’s time again to ship little genetic packages out into the world to see if they have what it takes to spread and multiply.

It was an amazing year for apples!
