Re: Re: CULT:Arilbreds for the north

Even planting TBs in early september is risky here in North of Montreal,
Canada , our falls are much to wet, everything rots.  I was considering
joining Aril Society International and taking advantage of their
supposed great selection of cultivars but you've confirmed my fears of
receiving my plants too late.  If I can't get them by the end of July ,
I don't want them at all.

I wish you luck with the rest of your Aril Breds.  Let us know how many
survive.
