Lon,
This is just the kind of info I am looking for--do you know the name of the
variety? or where it may be available?
Thanks.
Jim Erdman

Some years ago I got a tree of a variety in a test plot at Oregon
State U. It was twice as tall as any other tree in the plot and when it was
grafted, it grew to 8 feet tall in the nursery row. It had a trunk big
enough to make a decent saw log before it was 20 years old. The cherries are
very good - very large white with red cheek, but picking them is nearly
impossible. If someone wanted to grow a woodlot of these trees, they would
be big enough for cabinetry in 15 years with good care.

Some of the NNGA members in Ontario who are also members of
S.O.N.G.
[Society of Ontario Nut Growers] grew black walnut up to 9
feet tall,
then grafted persian/english walnuts at that height. The
proposed
result was to be the straight black walnut bole of 9' [the
best part
for boards] and the english walnut crop. In practice, I
think there's
plenty of black walnuts the chain saw jockeys cut down and
average size
black walnut aren't so rare. I haven't heard of this being
done with
fruit trees - has anyone else?
