Could I get some assistance? I'd like to order a Pixie Crunch apple, and
Henry Fields/Gurneys carries it. I know they're not the best nursery to
order from, but I believe Pixie Crunch has pretty tight licensing and
forbids most nurseries from propagating it. Since Henry Fields currently
has "buy $25, get $25 free" I was also thinking about getting a Superior
plum.
Trouble is they call their plum, "Hybrid Superior plum." I'm wondering if
this is something different than Superior plum? I wouldn't normally be so
suspicious, but these companies are bad to rename stuff. Gurney's
(basically the same company) shows a Superior plum and the picture looks a
little different. I called Henry Fields but the lady I spoke with really
didn't have a clue. Anybody familiar with this plum that wouldn't mind
taking a look at the link and tell me if it looks like a real Superior plum?
