Jim,

Aren't you the source of the post a couple months ago asking if anyone had 
experience in the upper Midwest (not quite the phrase you used) in husbanding 
a list of older European apples?
I recognized Edelborsdorfer, which showed up in a previous reading of The 
Book of Apples, (the RHS publication) and looked into it. That precipitated 
an inquiry into others, via the excellent paper on recent apple inbreeding 
which you mentioned. I wonder if Cummins or the Cornell/Geneva research 
people could obtain scion wood of PAvP? I will ask.

BTW, because of your e-mail, I hope to obtain and graft Edelbosrdorfer, Roter 
Eiserapfel and Glockenapfel this next season. Red Iron and Bell date back to 
1500 or so, and Borsdorf Noble (translated) appears to date back no less than 
1175! I play in Renaissance Faires and hope to bring fruit that our ancestors 
enjoyed to the masses. 
To that end, I already have (by the grace of God) Lady/Christmas/Pomme d'Api 
growing out back. Perhaps I can also get Gray (Pomme Grise, before 1600?) and 
Wise (Court Pendu Plat, circa 450 AD and contemporary of Lady?)

If Prince Albert of Prussia comes to our shores and I learn of it, you shall 
hear from me. Not all the apples I keep date so far back. Other 
considerations also apply.
Yours for a fruitful year,

Dave Liezen, Spokane, WA z6
