Re: [nafex] How the date came to the U.S.

Thanks for posting this, Doug. The Popenoes were from this area. I didn't
hear anything about them growing up but have become fascinated when running
across them in my historical research in the past year.

Re: [nafex] single digit freeze, trees nopt dormant?

Big trees, or new plantings? I have a couple mature apple trees which always face the deep freeze with some leaves still on, green but freeze-dried by earlier frosts. They always grow well the next year, so I try not to worry. They were grown from scionwood collected locally, from trees surviving tough winters, so that helps with not worrying.

Younger trees, I try to mulch if a drastic temperature drop is forecast. But then you have to be sure of your vole excluders.

I've recently been trying more trees in pots, until they reach 6-7' height. I can move these to appropriate shelter when needed, but, they can't take the worst winter cold.

Re: [nafex] [ARTICLE] Crunch: Modern apple growing; the club

Thanks for this article, more well written than most fruit articles in the
mainstream press.

This caught my eye:

"Minnesota growers who did not wish to join were allowed to plant up to a
thousand trees—subsequently increased to three thousand—but could sell the
apples only at farmers' markets, local grocery stores, and farm stands.
Only Next Big Thing was entitled to sell the apples commercially—i.e., to
wholesalers and grocers."

I did not realize that managed varieties could be grown by some farmers but
not wholesaled. Is this common with managed varieties? That makes the whole
thing much more palatable to me. In fact, I feel great about managed
varieties now! I liked a lot about it, but it felt too restrictive, that
parts of the public who technically funded some of this research were not
allowed to enjoy the fruits, if you will.

Re: [nafex] Blight resistant American Chestnuts

Yes, if you read the links I sent, from a group involved in a breeding program to introduce Chinese chestnut genes into a hybrid that is overwhelmingly American chestnut, you will see that the fungus causes minor cosmetic damage to Chinese chestnuts, but does live in those trees.

Chinese chestnut wood was the source of the fungus in the US, wasn't it? (Or maybe European chestnut?)

So these trees will continue to host the fungus, thereby remaining a permanent locus for infection. In many parts of the country, the fungus seems to be persistent in any case; but I'm not sure that it's not an issue everywhere.

I wonder why they didn't take the resistance genes from the Chinese chestnut, instead of from a plant as distantly related as wheat? I don't know whether the Chinese chestnut genes allow the tree to continue hosting the fungus or not -- does anyone else?

Re: [nafex] Blight resistant American Chestnuts

That's interesting. They are, in a sense, competing with the American Chestnut Foundation

http://www.acf.org/mission_history.php

The ACF also has some blight-resistant trees, and expect to have resistant trees available for planting in about 5 years. They got there by cross-breeding with Chinese chestnuts, but have been re-crossing and re-crossing with American chestnuts, while testing to retain the small number of genes that is responsible for resistence. They are currently working with trees that are 15/16th American.

[nafex] Blight resistant American Chestnuts

They are apparently transgenic with a wheat oxalate oxidase gene which
renders the trees resistant to fungal-associated pathology. They make
the point that these new trees have more American Chestnut genetic
material than the complex hybrids such as Dunstan.

It will be interesting to see how the trials go...

trees, or would some kind of sterile polyploid perhaps be required? I
see there is an interest group for honey locust.
Consider me interested.

Re: [nafex] Honey Locust

Devin,

Don't know if you have visited the Honey Locust Agroforestry website but it does have some good info. I have spoken to Andy Wilson in the past and he sounds pretty knowledgeable but the website and honey locusts may be a passing interest for him. However the info they have online is actually pretty good. This link may help answer your question about honey locust pollination.

These fruits are invaluable as they contain condensed tannins called proanthocyanidins that prevent E. coli bacteria from attaching to cells in the digestive tract.
