I could have practised on our wild apples while I was waiting for my stooled rootstock to produce. Regardless of how much rootstock I have this year, I'll still be practising on our wild apples.<br /><br />Regards,<br />MikeMikeHhttp://portageperennials.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-77801868205126119002012-01-29T07:54:29.900-05:002012-01-29T07:54:29.900-05:00Thanks for the links, Mike.

I'd like to try pawpaw, osage orange, siberian pea shrub to fix nitrogen, and I've been trying for 3 years to find affordable fruiting quince before they are all sold out.<br /><br />I want to replace my black and red currants, and buffaloberry that succumbed to something, probably they were planted on fill.<br /><br />There are others, and I may do a post on them in a few weeks, I hope! With my below-poverty-level income, it doesn't all happen in a year or even 2.dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-76838634299700143822012-01-25T20:26:10.262-05:002012-01-25T20:26:10.262-05:00along with many planned shade/fruit tree and fruit...<i>along with many planned shade/fruit tree and fruiting shrub</i><br /><br />Hi Darius,<br /><br />I'm always interested in hearing about folk's plants for fruit trees and bushes.

When I moved to Asheville in the 1990's, I met several of the folks who started it, before they even bought the first parcel. I thought about buying in when I sold my house in Asheville 10 years ago, but meditated and saw I needed to take the message of sustainability somewhere other than "preaching to the choir"...dariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12905692094664443489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603055518123606194.post-8024677314251018772012-01-18T11:49:57.582-05:002012-01-18T11:49:57.582-05:00Darius, you might be a good match for Earthhaven e...Darius, you might be a good match for Earthhaven ecovillage in the mountains of North Carolina -- you would certainly find community there.
