North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

["Lon J. Rombough" <lonrom@hevanet.com>]

egroups also has Ediblelandscaping and Coolfruit (fruit for temperate
climates) but some of it seemed pretty basic, plus some of the advertised
links are for places that are not good.
Go to the egroups site and look in the gardening section for the groups.
