Jim:  Ive heard from several sources that Oregon Exotics is on hiatus. 
(Also confirmedon their website.)   Ive ordered things from them in the 
past & some material was good & some barely acceptable.

As I posted in my previous message about Sea Buckthorn, spreading & 
invasiveness is not an issue in the heavy clay loam where I live.  6-7 
year old plants are only 4-5 feet high & not a sucker in site.  Very 
very slow growing.  From past threads it seems that this is something 
to be concerned about in sandy soils.  mIEKAL
