Have a large branch of Hanska plum that was grafted in 1998 and according
to my records was obtained from Rocky Meadow Orchard and Nursery owned by
Ed Fackler at the time. Is a nice tasting fruit but the problem as with
any other plum you have to fight the plum curculio. It blossoms profusely
and sets a nice crop of plums but by seasons end not many are left after
the PC's get at them. If you are looking for scions there are quite a few
on the large branch. Let me know. Zone 4-5 NE Wisc. Was -9 yesterday
morning and made a high of zero with a 25 MPH wind, -5 this morning. About
a foot of snow on the ground this year that will help the root systems as
compared to last year when there was no snow and the frost killed a lot of
plants and trees that are suppose to hardy in this zone.
Question? What ever happened to the Bear Creek nursery property? Did some
other nursery take over after they gave up?
