North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

[Tom Olenio <tolenio@sentex.net>]

Hello,

This list will be able to tell you if those varieties are patented or not, 
and most likely supply scions, and a local source for rootstock.

If they are patented, it is just a matter of sending a $1-2 to the patent 
holder for a using the scions for personal use.

You are at the perfect point to learn to graft (early in your interest).  You 
can pay lots of money for a few trees ($30+ each at a nursery), or learn to 
graft and save that money for other things that cannot be acquired cheaply 
(sprays, fertilizer, accessories, etc.).

Later,
Tom
