Hi all:
Seeing that some people on the list have this variety, I would like to
inquire about getting some summer budwood. I am working on a project
replanting the original orchard at the Justin Morrill homestead in
Strafford, VT. Morril was, as many know, a Senator from Vermont, 'founder'
of the land grant colleges act, and an accomplished horticulturalist. More
on the project can be found here:

Thanks to Richard Fahey I have found many of Morrill's original varieties
in one place, but we are always looking for more. Rootstock was planed in
place last week, and I'll be summer budding what I can find this
July-August. Next spring we'll graft the rest with Richard's budwood.
The list we are working from can be found here: http://www.uvm.edu/~tbradsha/morrill_list.htm
Thanks in advance,
Terry B
