I am reminded of something my mother told me was a popular sentiment to
write in German School Albums.  "Do not mind when people pick at you, it is
the sweet apples that the worms eat."

Subject: [NAFEX] Two Questions


To the List:
1) I've noticed a distinct sweetness in apples that have had a codling
caterpillar in them during the season, above that of apples on the same tree
unmolested. What is that about?
2) I know someone who would like to graft about 30 each Mutsu/Crispin and
Zestar next spring. What is the best way to obtain such scion wood? Is it
even possible, since it appears Zestar may yet be a patented cultivar?
Many thanks,
Dave Liezen
