Re: strawberry tree

Yes, and by the way it's family owned and I know the son of....   The 
phone is 707-542-3166 or 544-4446.  For some reason they have two 
numbers listed.  Theresa, I'm certain you can find that tree in your

nursery is able to order it for you.  They are by the way, about a mile 
from my nursery.
