No, this is not a political pitch. (We Canadians are in the midst of an
election campaign). I
have two issues:
1) I am busily compiling the list of Canadian variety sources, but have
received lists of
holdings only from a half-dozen people. If this is to be useful, we need to
get as many
sources listed as possible, So, any of you Canadians willing to share,
please send me your
lists of holdings, (preferably in some sort of machine-readable form)
david.maxwell at dal.ca.
2) Help! When Fred Jansen, (one of the founders of NAFEX) died, his orchard
was sold, and
I believe bulldozed out. Biz Storms salvaged many of his cultivars and
established an
orchard north of Toronto. She no longer has this orchard, but was able to
provide some
grafting material to me 2 years ago. Two of the trees I grafted have
succumbed, and I
desperately want to get more wood of: Coeur de Boeuf and Fenuillet Gris
(Anise Russet).
Unfortunately Biz seems to have disappeared entirely. Does anybody know
either of a
(Canadian) source of either of these two varieties OR Biz's whereabouts?
