Hello there,

At the recent CRFG Scion Exchange, I picked up scionwood for Alameda  
Hemskirke. I wasn't sure whether the name included Alameda or whether  
it just meant the scionwood came from a tree grown in Alameda (a  
local SF Bay Area city).  But Googling turns up a very few  
references, including "Report of the Agricultural Experiment Station  
of the University of California", that say it's a separate variety  
than Hemskirke.

Does anyone have knowledge about this cultivar, particularly how many  
chill hours it needs?
