It was suggested I post the list of scionwood I am looking for. Here
is my order list that was filled last year with Bear Creek Nursery.
In the past I have selected varieties based soley on flavor. Without
realizing it, my collection of apples ripen almost exclusively late
in the season - Oct-Nov. I decided I needed some rewards earlier in
the season, and that explains most of my list.
********************************************************************
Bear Creek Order 2000 (now out-of-business)
arrived April 2000
I. Scionwood
A. Unusual flavor
1. Coles Quince Apple quince flavor mid Sep
2. Early Joe Apple pear flavor early Aug
B. Early and aromatic
1. Mantet Apple aromatic early Aug
2. Sweet Bough aromatic early Aug
3. Starr Apple aromatic mid Aug
4. Jersymac Apple aromatic mid Aug
5. Sops of Wine Apple aromatic, stained pink mid Aug
6. Tydeman's Early Apple aromatic early Sep
C. Other reason
1. Sekai Ichi Apple one of my favorites Sep
2. Methley Plum one of earliest plums late July
II. Trees
Purple Beech edible nuts, purple leaves
(Fagus Syvatia 'purpurea)
********************************************************************
By the way, I found a fruit store near me that sells Sekai Ichi
apples (my favorite) for 15 cents a pound. They showed up a month
ago. They are huge, aromatic and very sweet. They are used as gifts
in Asia. They were grown in Eastern Washington, and most likely
didn't make the grade for export. They have small blemishes and are
going soft, but they are many times better than any other apple I can
buy now. I think I have gone through 40-50 pounds so far, and I'm
going back for more. I better not give out the exact location of
this store, or my stash will be gone before I can get there.
