North American Fruit Explorers mailing list at ibiblio

[Robert Bruns <r.fred.bruns@gmail.com>]

I live in Carmel, IN, just north of Indianapolis.  My location is
listed as zone 5b, although with global warming it's probably more
like zone 6.  I had a Rosseyanka that grew to about 15 feet after
about 6 or 7 years.  The last year, it bore lots of fruit, but then it
died from the roots the following spring.  I think the rootstock was
D. lotus.

I currently have a small Nikita's Gift on D. virginiae.  It has
survived the winter the last two years.  Last spring, it had some
damage when it sprouted out in a very warm March and then got frozen
in April.  The jury is still out on how it does long-term.
