Rita,
No luck with PCN yet, though I have a friend who grows them from seed with
success.  The AB's don't make it here but the arilbreds do.
Much to everyone's delight this has been a spectacularly beautiful fall.  After
this summer's drought everyone was predicting doom and gloom.  Leaves are still
very much on the trees here, don't know about further north.
