RE: Propagating stone fruit

Thanks so much Mike!

We are moving and losing our source of a particular type of peach, (Glow Haven), that we have been looking forward to having delivered to the door every summer. Our new home is going to have a greenhouse attached, so we will be experimenting with the stones we collected this last year and I will let the list know if we have success. DH will probably use his dremel for the "small" work you have suggested.

Now off I go to dig up plants we have been propogating like rabbits around our present home ;-)

Pat and all the boys.

It's a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack, but if you want to do
it, use a small hacksaw to saw a SMALL amount off the pointed end of the
stone(s). Then plant the stone on its side in a large pot and leave it
outside over-winter. The seedling should be easily visible by mid-April.

Best of luck - and remember to spray to keep off the leaf-curl fungus just
before the leaf-buds open.
