I met an interesting fellow today.  He showed me two grafts he invented.  I 
couldn't find them in my "The Grafters Handbook" by RJ Garner.  One is like a 
dovetail joint and the other is like a bark inlay graft.

Gang:

Ok now on to a fruit that is delicious to eat, easy to grow, and offers so 
much for so little...Strawberries...

I am always curious as to the obsession Nafexers seem to have with "antique' 
apples and their apathy toward some of the truly ambrosiatic (uhh, I think I 
just invented a word here) strawberries developed in the first part of the 
20th century.   Just like with the apple the strawberries of today have more 
disease resistance than many of their forbearers but many lack the 
quintessential combination of flavor, aroma, and sugars that make for a truly 
exquisite palatary (hmmm, there goes another TFB creation also)  delight.  
Today most strawberries are grown for their resistance to herbicides, 
uniformity of size throughout the growing season, shipping durability, and 
storage characteristics.    Flavor is a factor that is often considered as an 
afterthought, and sadly today few truly know what a high flavor strawberry 
tastes like..   

I grow 9 varieties of strawberries here, but for flavor nothing touches 
Fairfax an old 1923 cross and 1993 release from the U.S. Department of 
Agriculture.  I simply have not known a better tasting strawberry.  It is a 
bit tricky to grow, but I have found good success growing it in dappled 
shade, in rotting wood chips sweetened up with wood ash...they certainly are 
scrumptious little things...I am in the midwest outside of Chicago (in zone 
4b (can you say burr)...

I am curious what your favorite strawberry is, and naturally what region you 
grow it in (strawberries are very, very local...)  I guess I am simply 
stating I would be remiss to find out I missed a truly outstanding variety 
simply out of ignorance.

All the best,

the fluffy bunny

Fluffster:

     Likewise, Fairfax possesses the finest flavor of any I've eaten except
those "wild" ones which were randomly growing when I was a kid.

     Do you know of a current source of Fairfax?

     Inquiring folks want to know.
