Frank, could you please check that address for me when you have time. I
am on the east coast with an enthusiastic gardening friend in B.C. who
is searching for a variety of shrubs and trees for his property. Sounds
as though hios whole neighbour hood is getting into the act. Wouldn't
that be something? What do you mean about about fresh graphs/ Do you do
the grafting yourself? of just get unestabished graphs? excuse my not
knowing. There is so much to learn and so little time. Thanks, Marg
