Lon,

 

I have Maypop all over our pasture. Over the past two years, I have been observing them and this year I have noticed one that really stands out. It has fruit about the size of a large hens egg, and fruits prolifically, with fruit every 2-4 inches along the vine. It is also very compact, at least the above ground portion. It also was one of the first vines to set fruit, so they hopefully will ripen earlier. I plan to protect a few fruits so I can taste them when ripe. The few I tried last year (from some of the other vines) were quite decent. I can dig up some root cuttings for you and maybe we can make an exchange. When is the best time to dig the roots?

 

Hal

Subject: [NAFEX] Maypop

I've got a very nice maypop, but lost the companion for it, which means I have no pollinator. So it blooms but never sets.
If anyone has good ones available, I'd like to get either some seed or a few root pieces next winter.
