Hello Biz and all others
IMO Crandall has more fruit/better tasting than Josta
Tom, Joe & others- do you agree?
Likely will have a good batch of rooted suckers in early spring- a lot more
reliable & less work than unrooted cuttings. Just put 'em where you will
want them.    Cheers              Bert
