When to collect scion wood

bill999
9 years ago

I cut down a butternut tree because it got too big and messy near the house then regretted not saving scions to graft on to a black walnut so I would still get both nuts. This was done two weeks ago before the tree was fully dormant. Now that we had a light frost last night and trees are going dormant can I go get scion wood off the butternut where I dumped it in the woods? Will it sprout when grafted next spring? I checked a twig yesterday by cutting into it and it was still quite green.
