Hi,
Do Seed Savers deal in scions?
Apples are not true from seed (except a handful of varieties that are somewhat true)
Later,

Bruce, check out the Seed Savers Exchange members listings for Apples. There is a
few enthusiasts who list many Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi heirlooms. You may
hve to join to get said members listing. I'll try to throw a few names your way
as time permits.
My only suggestion would be Gravenstein, since it has a proven track record in
California, but I have no idea how it would do it the South.
Best o' Luck,
Heron

The other day I received a letter from a fellow in southern Louisiana. He is
eighty two years old and still has some acreage and has dirt under his
fingernails. I love these conversations from those that are still 'doing'.
It is like the refrain from Cider House Rules, "be of use". He wants me to
send him a few trees and asked me for recommendations for varieties for his
area. Can you believe it? At eighty two he is going to plant a few trees.
Now, that can humble you a tad. Anyway, my nursery/farm is in midwest
Michigan. I am not familiar with the requirements of southern Louisiana.
Perhaps someone could make a suggestion or two of antique varieties for that
area. I am not interested in 'internet' knowledge but would appreciate the
views of folk who have trees and subsequently direct knowledge.
Thank you.
Bruce
