Bert,

I would love some. Could I cross your palm with jars of honey in exchange?
I'd also like to hear about your methods for growing them out from seeds -
when you have time. Do they come true from seed like Fameuse apples?

Cheers, Bizmark

Ps Your black currants are thriving in our little nursery. Growing like
gangbusters, in fact. Can you remind me which variety they are? I've got to
become far more disciplined in labelling and record keeping.

Dug a sucker out of daughter # 3's garden, I planted it in a box garden
alongside of stairs. After 4-5 years I had to tear them out as we navigating
the stairs past the prickly mess grew more of a pain (when you got stabbed).
Actually I dig them out, potted them in bushel size containers- to give to a
lady in the Hockley Valley. They were Chomanelas (sp?) and had produced only
a few fruit.
Tom I still have several potted quince, seed of which came from Lon
Rombough. Anyone want one ot two? Cheers.
