Okay Bert,
You got me with this one - what does DINB mean?

Hey Tom,
You're little "Lady" is about 10 inches tall. ( 6 " rootstock / 4" whip ) 
Would you like me to send it to you once it's dormant, wait till spring, or 
hold it in the nursery for a year and then send it out. I'm just fine with 
whatever you chose.

Hello to everyone else. It's nice to be back in the city for a while. I'm 
just going to ignore the dozens of whips in the nursery that need to be 
transplanted out into the orchard. Once this warm weather turns, and the 
trees are finally dormant, I'll turn into a transplanting machine. May even 
have to borrow some liniment from the horses.

Cheers, Bizmark.
