I have purchased skions from Foxwelp and have not had a problem They quit
selling wood. Something about their Mother Trees and the property they live
on.

Ginda,

The local garden store sold Imidan last year to unlicensed folks, but the
rules for the product may have changed.

I got my Ashmead's Kernel scionwood from the Foxwhelp Farms or some such
name... I can't remember, but they were the folks that were associated with
Trees of Antiquity when they first took over from Sonoma Antique Apple
nursery.  I can't rule out that the stock had the virus, but the same lot of
stock was used to graft many cultivars and only the AK had the virus
symptoms.  Really impressive, bright yellow splotches on green.  It only
showed symptoms in cool weather- a sign that the plant was fighting off the
virus when the PTGS defense mechanism was active (in hot weather).  Anyway,
I yanked the tree, but as an afterthought, I thought I should double-check
with those more experienced with this cultivar.

Thanks,

Anton

BTW, I apologize if you got one of those obnoxious challenge messages.  I've
adjusted my spam filter so that shouldn't happen again.

I vaguely recall something about Imidan being restricted to licensed
applicators, but you should wait until someone who actually knows
something chimes in.

My Ashmead's Kernal does not have variegated leaves.  Neither does the
one tree at the local PYO place that grows it.  From where did you get
your scion wood?  (If it's a commercial place that other NAFEXers might
shop at.)
