mIEKAL, have you had any indication that Nanking cherry plants from some 
sources produce better seedlings than from others, especially from the 
point of view of size and usefulness of the fruit?

I wonder if some nurseries sell plants of seedling lines that have been 
selected for the fruit while others sell unselected plants. I seem to 
recall that in the past one or more nurseries on the Canadian Prairies 
claimed to sell seedling plants from selected lines though I've 
forgotten which.
