Very quickly...I ahve had extremely disappointing results with using ziplock bags and cutting the corners.

1) the aforementioned condesation
2) fairly heavy insect infestation problems

In the past I have used paper bags, and newspaper and found them far more satisfactory.  I was intrigued by the idea of plastic allowing coloration to take place.  Next year I hope to perform a more controlled experiment, but I suspect, that plastic will prove inferior to paper.

Donna,

Fr Fiala's book is only reliable for 'The East'. His scab reports are no good here
in south coastal B.C. where we get relatively warm weather with lots of rain -
i.e. scab-country.

Oh, stupid question coming from me, all I have to do
: is consult Father Fiala's book... " disease resistant over 20 years of
: testing, with only an occasional mild scab".

Ed, as a rule, we use small cling peaches for pickles, spiced or brandied peaches for the obvious reason that they are not much good for anything else. The choice in this area is the Indian Blood Cling. The advantage of it is some of the peaches produced are large enough to can or serve as soon as they get ripe. The flesh and skin are dark crimson and when used to make ice cream produces a beautiful product. It has a stronger flavor than any white peach grown around here. Cumberland Valley Nursery in Tenn. used to have trees to sell. There is an Indian Free which has the same characteristics except it is a free-stone peach, but I've heard that it is susceptible to brown rot, whereas the cling version is not as much so.

Does anyone know of a source of grafted trees of Pinus edulis or P.
pinea, the two pine species grown for pine nuts? I've seen them in the
past, but it has been years and I can't find the nursery that sold
them. I suspect there may be small, local nurseries somewhere, but a
mail order source would be the best.
Seed is available of both species, but both take so long to come into
bearing that a tree grafted from an old, bearing tree would have to be
faster.

I snipped off the bottom corners of the Zip Lock bags before bagging my
apples. Now that the fruit is ripe, ALL bags contain moisture, some more
than others. About 20% of the fruit are split like a tomato that was
watered too much. Is this normal or commonplace?

Lon,
Perhaps you're thinking of the old Hess' Nursery in New Jersey? Among their greenhouse-grafted specialties was a selection of Pinus Koreansis [sp?]. I never asked the owner what the selection was for, it was as likely ornamental as it was for nuts.

I find the following info on Hess on the internet
Hess Nurseries. PO Box 326. Cedarville, NJ 08311. (Phone) 609-447-4213
but I don't know if the info is valid, the proprieter had a terminal condition 10 years or more ago and who knows if the Koreansis grafts are still made. Another thought would be to check nnga.com as there are northern nut growers interested in pine nuts, I don't know if any graft.

I've thought of grafting pines for nuts myself, it would be another multi-year project if I did and I've got opportunity but don't know if I have motive!

Got a new t-shirt yesterday it reads:
"How do you follow your dreams when your life is a nightmare!"
