This past weekend, I volunteered at a scion swap. When the event was over, I scooped up all the unused apple scionwood, all of it collected in zone 4 or 5. Varieties listed below. For trades, I’m into russet apple scionwood, northern adapted okra seeds, seakale divisions, etc.
If you do not have rootstock at the moment, you can graft onto an established apple tree to save until next year. If you would like to topwork a big tree (crown graft), let me know and I may be able to send multiple sticks of the variety.

Dang that’s an impressive list. I’m trying to grow pre-1800 varietals (for allergy reasons) but the ones I’m still looking for aren’t on your list, so I’ll have to go through and see if any of those are pre 1800 that I don’t already have.
I’m looking for:
Blue Pearmain
Chestnut Crab
Court Pendu Plat
Grimes Golden
Roxbury Russet
Surprise, Pink, early 1800s
Swiss Limbertwig or other Limbertwigs
I know you probably don’t have those, just on the off chance that someone reads your list and mine and maybe has the ones I’m missing.
I don’t have any of those at the moment, but next year I could source (from friends’ orchards):
Blue Pearmain
Court Pendu Plat
Grimes Golden
Roxbury Russet
I have the following trees or grafted (yeah a few are modern apples, sorry for screamy caps):
GALA
HONEY CRISP
FREIHERR VON BERLEPSCH
ASHMEAD’S KERNEL
ORLEANS REINETTE
VIRGINIA CRAB
ANANAS REINETTE
WHITE PEARMAIN
BELLE DE BOSKOOP
WORCESTER PERMAIN
SPITZENBURG ESOPUS

NEWTOWN PIPPIN
CALVILLE BLANC D’HIVER

BITE ME!
Ok here below are the scion varietals I’m interested in.
For trade I have catawissa walking onions to trade, lots of seeds including cold stratified maypop seeds that i confirmed are germinating a little (are you just out of range?), electronics (custom built solar meshtastic node for off grid texting), table grape cuttings, sunhigh peach and italian plum scions next winter, fig cuttings i’ve been rooting, lots of seeds for eventually landracing including moschata, watermelon, etc, homemade apple butter.
Baldwin 1784
Bramley’s Seedling 1809
Golden Russet pre 1845
(I only got this far, I’ll continue to research ages and parentage tomorrow)

Northern Spy circa 1800

White Pippin aka Ortley pre 1800
Wickson (I grafted a scion of this but it doesn’t look like it took, would love another)
Let me know if you want any of the trade able items I listed! If not, we can still work something out. Thanks!
