i have a question i will be travelling by plane to a citrus nursery. how car i have a healthy sterlie cuttings survive for a week or so before grafting?
do you have any success stories for such long time?

I've never had a problem holding scion wood that long if it's kept moist and cool. I'd be more concerned crossing boarders.

thank you turtleman,
would keeping the scions in the fridge in a plastic bag do it?

why is crossing boarders a concern ? for example valencia, moroblood was not known in the united states before 150 years and now its comercially sold.

We keep them in a plastic baggie and in the fridge, I've had some in there for several weeks that budded just fine, (I don't usually do that though)

As far as crossing borders, it might not be a issue where your at, but there's a heck of allot of pathogens, fungi, bacteria floating around the world, I'd hate to transport any problem to an unsuspecting country, especially if it turned out to destroy agriculture in the new location.

For all of the countries in which I have worked, you need a phytosanitary permit to move ANY live plant material in or out of the country, plus in the USA you must have a USDA plant import permit. I have no idea what you would need in the middle east.

if i rub the cuttings with alcohol will that prevent pathogens, fungi, bacteria and make it a sanitary procedure? or will alcohol ruin the grafting process?

Just to check a few points. You will travel to the nursery and collect pre-cut budwood from them.( or will you be cutting it yourself ? ) Then you will return home shortly after, and store the budwood for about a week before propagation.
When in transit you need to keep the budwood as reasonably cool as possible, and avoid temperature changes. Wrapping the plastic bags in clothing inside your bag will probably be enough in most cases.If the weather will be hot you may need to protect more.I use the blue freezer paks inside insulated containers. A thick layer of newspaper keeps the budwood from direct contact with the frozen paks Keep baggage out of direct sun etc.
Make sure the bud bags are new and clean to start with. They also need to be well sealed and no thorns poking holes in them. If possible roll up the bags with rubber bands to confine the sticks to a small part of the bag. This keeps moisture around the sticks.
It is to usual to store budwood in the fridge.A week of storage is actually pretty short and should be no trouble. Still it is best to check the bags for excessive condensation. Some condensation will occur, but watch out for large water drops collecting in any part of the bag.

I will cut it myself.

thank you for those great tips

If you are cutting the budwood yourself, try to work in the cool of the morning. It is suggested that the tree retains most moisture then, so budwood is at its best condition prior to cutting. Late afternoon when the temp starts falling is also ok, if you must collect that day.
At least try to take advantage of any available shade when trimming up and packing the sticks.Again, always use new clean bags when packing the buds, along with clean tools for the cutting. All the best !
