Sorry for the spelling. Yes, it would be
Duane Mann that I'm referencing. Hopefully, I'll get to meet him
someday. So far, I've just spoken on the phone with him.
I agree completely about the Chieftain!
Tasted my first last year, and WOW! was I impressed. I have a grafted limb
growing on one of my little trees right now - which came from the Frisk orchard,
in fact! Can't wait to get it over to a full tree and taste some of my
own. (Didn't have a rootstock of its own to put it on this past
spring, so I just stuck it on an available tree to keep it alive.) Thanks
for the scion.
I'm trying to grow a Hawkeye. Deer have
rubbed it off twice, so far, to knee height - so the going is slow.
Someday we'll be able to compare notes on it, maybe . . . .
Interstate Golden Giant Apricot update: The
graft took fine, and we have a tree that is about 36-inches tall as of
now. I'll have scion wood for sure with this season's good growth - if the
deer don't get to it. It is living inside a wire cage, so we should
weather out fine. Later on, I'll get back on scion wood and what
to do with it.
