Subject: [NAFEX] Difference between Hemskirke and Alameda Hemskirke?
Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2009 13:32:50 -0800
Hello there,
At the recent CRFG Scion Exchange, I picked up scionwood for Alameda
Hemskirke. I wasn't sure whether the name included Alameda or whether
it just meant the scionwood came from a tree grown in Alameda (a
local SF Bay Area city). But Googling turns up a very few
references, including "Report of the Agricultural Experiment Station
of the University of California", that say it's a separate variety
than Hemskirke.
Does anyone have knowledge about this cultivar, particularly how many
chill hours it needs?
