Larry, you need to call Joe Ghio in Santa Cruz at (408) 423-3656 in the
evening and visit with him regarding PCN's.  He sells them and is the
premier breeder of PCN's.  Basically, they are weeds in Watsonville. 
The seeds germinate easily and they trive without care.  In San Jose
(just 30 minutes from Watsonville) they are VERY difficult to grow and
throughout most of the US they are nearly impossible to grow.
