   I bought Ure, Nova, John, Summer Crisp and Buerre Gifford from the 
former Bear Creek Nursery eleven years ago.  So far the Ure has given me two 
fruits, two years ago.  Nova failed to harden off one Fall and promptly 
died.  John has been trying to die since I planted it.  Buerre Gifford's 
leaves gets some unknown fungus every year and last year, for its first 
time, did bloom a few flowers but produced no fruit.  Ditto for Summer 
Crisp; few flowers but no fruit.  I keep threatening to grub them out and 
plant something that WILL bear - eleven years is a long time to wait for 
production.
