While in college (twenty something years ago) I went on a church 
event.  I sat next to a young lady who was pursuing a Master's in 
Horticulture.  She was surprised that I had any knowledge or interest 
in growing plants.  Her thesis was on rootstocks for stone fruit.  She 
thought very highly of Meteor cherry.  I do not know if she ever 
published her thesis.  I have never stumbled across reference to it.  
It would help, of course, if I could remember her name.  Oh well.

Mining the dim, misty recesses of my memories:  It may be that the 
thing that impressed her was Meteor's willingness to root from softwood 
cuttings.  I cannot remember for sure.
