Seed Keepers

[Jay Woods <woodsjay@cox.net>]

Mine is the thankless task (so far) of trying to raise fruit trees 
that breed true and do not require watering/pesticides to thrive 
here in Omaha. Notice, I didn't say high fruit quality since 
nothing so far has that although the plums and apricots are 
small but good. 

Currently, I have breeding lines of peaches, apricots, and 
plums. Seeds will be available this fall for those who request 
them.
