Thanks. I thought Clifford
England closed down his nursery. Is he still actively selling? My
mother lives in Berea, not very far from McKee. I'll be going down that
way at least a couple of times per month.
I'd love to be able to raise a bunch
of nut trees, but I don't think I'll have enough room....after I finish adding
the fruit trees, berries and garden vegetables I intend to plant. I'll
consider the KY Nut Grower's meeting, though.
