Jerry, please tell us what the names of these quince cultivars are and do you 
know of any place on the internet that describes them?  Thanks. -- Sam

Subject: [nafex] Russian quince released


A few years back three quince came in from Russia under my import permit. 
These now have been unconditionally released by Beltsville and need not be 
grown in quarintine. I'll have a limited amount of wood from the USDA that 
can be shared. 

These varieties are expermintal. In the past I've had two bear fruit and just 
as with all quince they are too firm to eat out of hand from the tree. 
But they made excellant cider with no additives. The bad news is they are 
very suseptable to Fire Blight. I managed to keep them a few years by 
continually prunning all summer. They aren't recommend for growers in areas 
with heavy Fireblight infections or of you don't have the time to prune out 
infected wood often.     

If anyone would like some cuttings send me an em off line. It will be first 
come, first served. All I ask is reimbursement of postage after you receive 
the material. 

Jerry
