I'm curious too.  I'm still waiting to hear anyone talk about their first 
into, what was that, Potomac?  I figure that unless I find people raving or 
complaining about it, it's a slow and shy cropper.  Haven't looked around on 
the Net for mentions of Potomac in 2 years, so maybe by now some are 
cropping.
    Just did a search, 10 google pages, that's 100 sites that are either 
selling it or recommending it, but only one mentions her tree, which is 
standard sized, too big to thin so it has become a biennial bearer.  Barbara 
Pleasant, somewhere 2 hrs drive from Edible Landscaping, uses milk spray to 
suppress brown rot on plums and grapes.  I take it that though she's a 
master gardener, she's not a Nafexer or she wouldn't have referred to the 
grape disease as brown rot.  Donna
