>see if he had decided that his 'Petite Negri' was
actually 'Negrone'. 
 
I hosted the <a href="http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~dailey/byfg.html">Back Yard Fruit Grower</a>
meeting at my house this summer where Mike McConkey of Edible Landscaping was the speaker.
 
He said to me in passing where I mentioned that I had 'Petite Negri' from him, he said if I got it
many years ago (which I did), it was probably 'Negronne'.
 
I still refer to it as Petite Negri, but always mention it is likely the other.
 
I think I've kept it all these years only because compared to 'Chicago Hardy' it has
much more attractive leaves.
