I am the new apple group coordinator for NAFEX and have swapped and bought 
from Nick since the mid 80's. While I do not have as many varieties as Nick I 
do have a pretty good collection going. Right now I have 708 varities of 
apples and 60 something of pear. One variety per rootstock so I can keep 
track of them!


If interested in scion wood, send me an email to derekcs2005@aol.com. I sell 
scions for $4 per variety and try to send a big enough piece to get two 
grafts per stick if possible. But that depends on how someone grafts. Plus 
the postage and packaging.


thanks,


Derek Mills

Daniel:
Thanks for posting this. It still does not answer whether HOS is helping NIck 
to 
get scions out to those interested. Or is that a rumor, too?
