 At this time no. The summers here have been very dry The last three years 
the worst. The winter's have been bare besides. My trees are loaded but the 
fruit is not going to get much bigger than a XL egg. Chestnuts, persimmons 
etc all look very sad as to size. Hardy Kiwis, Walnuts, hardy pecans are 
doing very well, and the tree rats are hauling them off as fast as I can 
haul the TR's off I never seen only an occasional one every few weeks till 
the last month or so. Rebecca's Gold seems to be close to the first to 
ripen, and it has a very good taste.
 If we do not get enough rain for the tree roots again this fall I believe 
there will be a lot of dead trees of all kinds come next year. I was 
surprised to see a lot of them come back this year. The black walnuts are 
turning yellow already.
 I have talked to Bill Nash from Nash Nurseries and he is having the same 
drought. Some of you must sure know him.

Gordon

hope yr feeling better, you had us all worried.  can you make any 
recommendations as to which varieties would be hardiest to winter kill plus 
set & ripen fruit the earliest?
