wendy, thanks so much for your efforts in laying out web sites and a lovely 
pic of a highbush, i will continue to pursue the linked sites of these sites 
later this winter.    the wealth of knowledge and help to be found in this 
nafex is just wonderful,   when we moved here 5 years back i went to the 
university extension agent and asked about fruit growing, he said 'forget 
apples!!'   well ive since learned quite differently, even if it is zone 2b. 
   nafex is full of hope   del, n. minnesota    thanks to you all
