Subject: Re: [NAFEX] "Bartlett" pears in
the south
Wouldn't you love to dunk a few executives of such
companies in rotten fruit. I cringe to think of how many mislabled trees
that is going to make in the years ahead. Though with luck they will all
die before they can add to the confusion. Obviously, I am no fan of
places that sell deliberately mislabled
stock.
I talked to David
Lockwood again a month or two back, and he told me that the
McMinnville nurserymen sell all their leftover fruit trees at a discount
to the big discount chains. They are generally asked not to put
labels on the trees, as the chain will supply their own. As you can
well imagine, that is Bartlett labels for all the pears, Elberta for all
the peaches, Golden or Red Delicious for all the apples, hmm, what would
they have for plums? You get the idea anyway.
