Title: Re: [NAFEX] Two Apple Varieties

If you were in the NW, you would probably be able to get them at the Home Orchard Society's annual scion exchange in March.  They also sell rootstocks and have people who teach grafting at the show.

> I don't necessarily mind trying that, but I still don't have a source for either and I'm not sure if these two varieties are patented or not.  I eventually plan on doing some of that, but would like to get more fruit trees actually growing/producing before I play since I'm < 1 year into my fruit growing experience.

I'm trying to find varieties that will grow well around my area (Central Indiana Zone 5b) and hopefully have good disease resistance.  I tried a couple from a local orchard and liked them so I'm hopeful since they grow them that they're adapted to this area.  If anyone knows of a source I could get them from that would be helpful too.  They are Early Blaze and Paula Red.
