Richard Murphy asked, "Is anyone going to trial anything new this Spring? 
Anything you are free to discuss?  Any new fruit, plant, chemical or 
process"

   Cloudberry.  George Brinson, a NAFEXer from one of the Maritimes sent me 
some seed two years ago.  Cloudberries need two cold seasons to germinate 
and they should pop out of the ground this Spring.  I had also received some 
(several years old) seed from the Corvallis germplasm repository but they 
failed to germinate.  I might also receive some bare-root plants from the 
University of Alaska if their transplants were successful.
