Very quickly...I ahve had extremely disappointing results with using ziplock bags and cutting the corners.
1) the aforementioned condesation
2) fairly heavy insect infestation problems
In the past I have used paper bags, and newspaper and found them far
more satisfactory. I was intrigued by the idea of plastic
allowing coloration to take place. Next year I hope to perform a
more controlled experiment, but I suspect, that plastic will prove
inferior to paper.

Donna,
Fr Fiala's book is only reliable for 'The East'. His scab reports are no good here in south coastal B.C. where we get relatively warm weather with lots of rain - i.e. scab-country.
Oh, stupid question coming from me, all I have to do : is consult Father Fiala's book... " disease resistant over 20 years of : testing, with only an occasional mild scab". : Donna
Ed,
as a rule, we use small cling peaches for pickles, spiced or brandied
peaches for the obvious reason that they are not much good for anything
else. The choice in this area is the Indian Blood Cling. The advantage
of it is some of the peaches produced are large enough to can or serve
as soon as they get ripe. The flesh and skin are dark crimson and when
used to make ice cream produces a beautiful product. It has a stronger
flavor than any white peach grown around here. Cumberland Valley
Nursery in Tenn. used to have trees to sell. There is an Indian Free
which has the same characteristics except it is a free-stone peach, but
I've heard that it is susceptible to brown rot, whereas the cling
version is not as much so. Doc L. SoCar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.ibiblio.org/pipermail/nafex/attachments/20050910/f35a0e73/attachment-0001.htm

Does anyone know of a source of grafted trees of Pinus edulis or P. pinea, the two pine species grown for pine nuts? I've seen them in the past, but it has been years and I can't find the nursery that sold them. I suspect there may be small, local nurseries somewhere, but a mail order source would be the best. Seed is available of both species, but both take so long to come into bearing that a tree grafted from an old, bearing tree would have to be faster. -Lon Rombough Grapes, writing, consulting, my book, The Grape Grower, at http://www.bunchgrapes.com Winner of the Garden Writers Association "Best Talent in Writing" award for 2003. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

I snipped off the bottom corners of the Zip Lock bags before bagging my apples. Now that the fruit is ripe, ALL bags contain moisture, some more than others. About 20% of the fruit are split like a tomato that was watered too much. Is this normal or commonplace? --

Lon, Perhaps
you're thinking of the old Hess' Nursery in New Jersey? Among their
greenhouse-grafted specialties was a selection of Pinus Koreansis
[sp?]. I never asked the owner what the selection was for, it was as
likely ornamental as it was for nuts.
I find the following info on Hess on the internet Hess Nurseries. PO Box 326. Cedarville, NJ 08311. (Phone) 609-447-4213 but
I don't know if the info is valid, the proprieter had a terminal
condition 10 years or more ago and who knows if the Koreansis grafts
are still made. Another thought would be to check nnga.com as there are
northern nut growers interested in pine nuts, I don't know if any
graft.
I've thought of grafting pines for nuts myself, it
would be another multi-year project if I did and I've got opportunity
but don't know if I have motive!
Got a new t-shirt yesterday it reads: "How do you follow your dreams when your life is a nightmare!"
