Store scion wood in a refrigerator until it's needed. Place the wood in a plastic bag along with some moist peat moss. Begin grafting whenever weather conditions cause tree sap to rise freely. In most years, that's early April in Western Oregon. In eastern and central Oregon, the timing may be a bit later.
Conditions vary from year to year, so pay attention to the trees.
