Anyone know about these nurseries? I ordered from Finch's 8 years ago
and my blueberries have done well, but I'd like to try a few more
varieties. I read somewhere about some kind of virus or other disease
getting more prevalent in NC, don't know if Finch's would be affected.
They don't carry the patented U of AR southern highbush cultivar "Ozark
Blue", but Simmons does, only that's all they have that I really want.
I do note they have Earlyglow strawberries, which I can't get locally
anymore, and a couple of black raspberries. I always read about the
importance of virus free raspberries, and Simmons online catalog doesn't
say anything about that. Advice would be helpful. Thanks. Donna
