The Bear Creek Nursery property is now a camp for troubled kids, 
according to the Ag rep for the area in WA state.  Have no idea as to 
whether any of the trees / orchards still exist in any form

On 23.01.04 21:50 Ray Kaminski spoke thusly:<br>

> Have a large branch of Hanska plum that was grafted in 1998 and
