I think the universities may live in a rarified world that speaks with
commercial growers primarily--not the rest of us -although we pay taxes too
but do not get research topics made for us.

Subject: Re: [nafex] Scientists are creating half-sized peach trees to make
picking fruit easier (Modern Farmer)

Dwarf fruit trees are a new idea?

And here I thought that bright idea was older than I am. (And I am getting
up there.)

The specific varieties might be new; and/or getting specifically peaches
down to the size they want might be new, I suppose; but the article is very
odd in that it seems to think that the whole idea is new.

-- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 6A now I think
Fresh-market organic produce, small scale
