Trade Scions Anyone?? Taxodium,Metasequoia,Ginkgo

Grafting time is near. Is anyone interested in trading scion wood? I have a small collection of Taxodium, Metasequoia, and Ginkgo with small quantities of scion wood to trade for cultivars that I don't have. I'm only looking for 1-3 pieces to ensure a successful graft for my collection. In some cases, I can probably trade a 1 year Taxodium graft for scions. I'm listing the cultivars that I currently have for reference. The ones with an asterisks (most Ginkgo cultivars) are too small to obtain adequate cuttings, but more should be available next year. Who knows...I'll consider trading scions from the cultivars with asterisks if recieving a cultivar that I really want.

    Thanks!

    I like all conifers and Japanese maples. This year I'm grafting Taxodium, Metasequoia, Ginkgo, Diospyros kaki (Japanese persimmon), and a few Pinus taeda brooms that I've discovered. I'm also grafting a few Abies cultivars to Abies firma (I live in the South) and doing a small trial of Abies nordmanniana rootstocks.

    Nice list! Can you say more about the description of Ginkgo biloba 'Anny's Zebra' please?
    I never heard this name before.

    Great list of ginkgo cultivars! I also have several ginkgoes that I'd like to swap. Some are in very short supply but will hopefully be increased for next year, such as 'Peve Maribo'. Also, I have a thousand or so ginkgo seeds from 'Patio Umbrella' a 25' tall x 50' wide female which produces a wide variety of leaf types among the seedlings. It produces heavy crops of nice size seeds which are good for rootstocks or for roasting. Here is my current list:
    Mayfield
    Chase Manhattan
    Horizontalis
    Patio Umbrella
    WB
    Akebono
    Princeton Sentry
    Todd
    Spring Grove #22
    Variegata
    Peve Maribo (very limited this year)
    Diane Dave (Dah vay)
    Chi Chi
    Mariken
    Elmwood
    Chub's Dwarf
    Bill Barger
    Jehosephat
    Majestic Butterflies
    Hope it Holds
    Scruffy Butterflies
    Some may be place holder names or names given to otherwise unknown varieties. I'll be grafting a number of variant leaf types from Spring Grove #22, especially the linear leaf buds. No way of telling at this stage of the game if the trait will hold.
    I'm particularly interested in obtaining scions of 'Peve Lobo'.
    Please let me know if interested in exchanging scions.
    Thanks,

    The pics show the linear leaves of Spring Grove #22. In many cases the leaf blade is not much wider than the petiole. I've marked a dozen or so lateral buds that produced all or nearly all such leaves in 2012. Maybe the trait will hold, maybe not. We'll see. My Spring Grove #22 has a wide variety of different leaf types ranging from cupped to linear to tubular.

    If you want taxodium hybrids (NB, 405,406,407, 502, 27) contact Dr. Creech from SFASU to see if he would give you some. I have all of these plants but they are too small (1g plants) to give you scions. Oh yeah, Jim's Little Guy BC.

    Next fall, I'm going by SFASU to collect cones from Montezuma Cypress. They always produce nice looking trees compared to others. They seem to be more full and straight like BC (MC's big fault is that it doesn't grow a dominant trunk). I will give them to anyone who wants it.
