Hector & mIEKAL, 
    Hector, I defer to your greater experience with these shrubs, but 
I wanted to add a note:  I purchased 1 plant as (lonicera caerulea 
edulis) from ForestFarm and two plants from Hidden Springs.  One of 
the plants from your/your daughters nursery got hit w/ lawnmower and 
the next year by RoundUp (neither by me [long story]) so I now 
believe it to be RIP.  Of the two remaining plants, there are subtle 
differences (for one thing the HS plant leafs/blooms out a week or 
more earlier), but much less than differences between many apple 
trees.  It looks like they are cross-fertile, as it looks like I'm 
going to get some fruit this year, and if I had to venture an 
opinion, I would say they are the same species.  

Now FF has disappointed me w/ at least two plants - one of which I 
know isn't what I asked for (it was supposed to be Lonicera 
fragrantissima - an early blooming (before apple) fragrant shrub 
honeysuckle, and the plant is vinous, and blooms in summer), and the 
other was a tricolor beech that is not showing much in the way of 
color variation (although it could be a case of reversion).  So it 
could still be kamchatka, what are the differences supposed to be?

Thanks,

Chris Mauchline
