Good question! I have been working for a LONG time to get all of the fruit
inventories ready for the web. However my efforts have been confounded by
numerous obstacles (which I won't detail here). It is my hope that everything
will be ready by the end of this year. I will send an annoucement to this
list serve when the time comes. Thanks.

Margie,
At the website of the Canadian Clonal Genebank, I found a chart of
apples included in your collection,
http://res2.agr.ca/harrow/ccg/chart99.htm .
Is there a similar online chart for other fruit?

mention of a couple other 'old' cultivars that came from British

released in 1957 from the highly successful breeding program at the
Vancouver Research Station. Of these, only Aggasiz is in the Genebank
as well as more modern ones from British Columbia and other parts of
Canada. The Genebank also has a very large holding of indigenous
Fagaria chiloensis collected from the BC coast and all the way up the
Queen Charlotte Islands. F. chiloensis (the Pacific Coast strawberry)
has a geographical distribution from Chile to Alaska.

British Columbia in the 1920's. The CCG provides germplasm of this
sort at no charge to clients. Please e-mail back to me to confirm
your request. I need your regular mailing address. The plants will be
propagated and shipped next year.
