Does anyone know who sells EDINA? This is the purported TB
that was crossed with I. tectorum to result in PALTEC,
isn't it? Ever since I received PALTEC and I. tectorum this summer
from a list member, I have been looking for EDINA. No luck. :(
Too late for me to plant this season but next year I have hope of
finding one piece of EDINA in '98.
