Richard, if no one can answer this question on this list, may I 
suggest two other resources?  California Rare Fruit Growers has an 
excellent website www.crfg.org and there is also an on-line 
newsletter put out by one of the members called Rare Fruit News 
On-line (or something like that).  Subscribe by visiting 
www.rarefruit.com.  It has a funny format but it is very informative
