Not a thing wrong with that. I would be bummed out if lots of people left
for other fruit forums. Its just a matter of my being obsessed with bells
and whistles for online resources I manage.

Re: [nafex] list is alive!

We may not have a source of new members. :(

I'm happy to continue using this list. I also joined the "growing fruit" group, which seems large. I occasionally visit the nafex Facebook group, but i don't care for Facebook for this sort of thing. Too hard to search, for one.

It took only a few minutes to set it up.

nafe
NAFE, Northamerican Allied Fruit Experimenters, is a companion webforum for
the nafex list at ibiblio.
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/nafe

I can batch subscribe a large number of members from this list if that is
what people want.

That is a _really_ good format, one of the best I have seen.
I am curious whether I can create one similar to that using Google Site. I
will make that tonight's project.
It will not be connected to this list or its mirror site. You will have to
create an account and log in to participate.
Actually I will create a new Google group and then when I have created the
site I will give all subscriber permission to use all the features of the
site.
That is probably the best way to go about it. It gets around having to
constantly revise the list of people who have full access and permissions
(to create and edit pages and upload files) to the site.
I will call it NAFE to avoid conflict with nafex.

[nafex] Potted Arbequina Olive

OK here's one that might even be worthy of the list...

Last fall I purchased a small arbequina Olive rooted cutting. It's been
growing in a sunny windowsill since fall and is now 6 in or so tall and has
put on some new growth recently. Is anyone else on this list growing potted
olives? I believe here in 6B I cannot plant it in the ground outside. Would
love to hear thoughts on how to get this thing happy in a pot so we have
some olives one of these years soon.

[nafex] 1. Re: list is alive! now peaches for erratic climate (Road's End Farm)

Probably Paul Friday's varieties would perform relatively well there, but
growing peaches organically is pretty his and miss and often the older
varieties are more resistant to brown rot, which can make organic growing
close to impossible for peaches.

The Harrow Station varieties are often evaluated for BR resistance and a
good one that is highly flavored and produces large fruit is Harcrest.

Madison is another variety that is relatively winter hardy and resistant.

Of course, if you have a lot of cloudy weather leading up to ripening
peaches can be bland. Then the higher brix varieties can show their
advantage. For me that includes several nectarine varieties, but organic
growers probably shouldn't bother with nects.

Some good ones, in sequence of ripening are Rich May (gives me flavorful
but very small peaches in late June often before BR is a problem), Early
Star, Red Haven (which you know), Ernie's Choice, Veteran, PF 27 and 28,
Encore. If your season is long enough, Victoria provides me peaches in S.
NY into Oct, ant they are pretty good. Another late and very unique white
peach is Indian Free. Very late peaches are also less susceptible to BR, I
think.

[nafex] How small can I keep an apple on g41?

I, too, miss the list. And I have a question, too. I am expecting a karmijn de sonnaville apple tree grafted on g41 any day, now, and I'm wondering where to plant it. I built a cage for a dwarf cherry tree (Carmine Jewel), but the flavor is only so-so, and I'm thinking I might rip it out and use the cage for something else.

The cage is about 5' wide, 4' deep, and hmm, maybe 8' tall. Could I maintain the apple tree in that space?

OK, here's one:

Climate here has become increasingly erratic. Overly warm winters followed by overly cold springs. Alternating flood and drought.

Anybody know peach varieties with good flavor that stand up relatively well to wildly shifting weather?

Re: [nafex] pear as rootstock

Some apples and pears are long-term graft compatible - for instance, Winter
Banana apple is well known to be compatible with many pears - and forms
long-lived productive unions. Fertility pear is known to be compatible with
apples. Others probably as well.
But... as previously mentioned, initial success grafting apples onto pear
or pear onto apple may give way to rapid decline in the grafted variety in
short order.

   Hi Caleb,

    Apples are not compatible with pear rootstock.  There may be an
initial sign of growth, but it would be only

    a matter of time before the graft union would fail.  Apple
rootstocks are not that expensive, so rather than

    put a lot of effort into a losing venture, start off right with the
correct material.

My uncle has been grafting like crazy on the bradford pear that is all over
his land and is getting great results. He is now putting apple on the pear
and getting good takes. I dont see this combo in the literature and was
wondering if anyone has experience or knows the long term viability of this
combination.
Thanks for your response
Caleb

    Alex,

    I also have a Seckel Pear and it does indeed put out a lot of blossoms.

    Have you examined the graft union to see if a scion did indeed meld
with the rootstock?

    I would wait until the tree bears fruit before doing anything drastic.

     The only cases I know of the root stock taking over is when the
graft union is too low and

      the rootstock starts to grow upwards anchored in the soil. Is
there more than one branch

      growing, possibly in addition to the scion?

                 Sherwin Dubren

Re: [nafex] Seckle or Calleryanna?

The bazillion or so 'volunteer' callery seedlings taking over the
countryside are mostly pretty thorny.
If this skyrocketing tree is even remotely thorny, I'd bet on it being
callery rootstock, and not Seckel

[nafex] Seckle or Calleryanna?

I was visiting a friend of mine today. She showed me her Seckle (Seckel)
on calleryana rootstock. The tree was going up like a pine, and had lots
of small flowers clustered very tightly. It looked in fact exactly like
the flowering pear across the street (where all you can see this time of
year is white...) I am wondering if somehow the roostock sprouted up and
now the tree is the rootsock. I have a bunch of pear trees, and though
there is a lot of variation in flower density, I don't have any that
have anywhere near the density of small flowers that the flowering pears
have. (I used to think I had a seckle, then I realized it was
mis-labeled, though it makes fine fruit....)

So, if this tree she has is really callery, I can wack it off and graft
it into something edible. But can anybody tell me, given the limited
information presented here, does a real seckle have a bloom density
anywhere near a flowering pear?

Thanks,

Alexis

*Soeren Larsen, Grapebreeders Website author Lon J. Rombough, Grapebreeders
mailing list founder *

These resources are no longer maintained. The mailing list at ibiblio and
at Google groups are locked up so there is no way to download those message
archives.
I am downloading the entire Grapebreders website now so as to have it in
case any Nafex people need it.

*Grapebreeders Home Page*

*Updated 9 - Apr -2006 * *Best view in 1280 x 1024*

*Welcome to Grapebreeders, the web site of the Grape Breeders discussion
forum.*
The Grape Breeders discussion list was started on ibiblio.com in 2002, as a
means for anyone interested in the breeding of grape varieties to contact
each other and exchange ideas. Members range from novices who want to learn
how to breed grapes, to experienced private breeders as well as university
and other professional breeders. As the list grew, the members began to
contribute an amazing collection of resources, including breeding records
from private and university breeding programs, historical documents related
to grapes and grape breeding, their own personal breeding experiences, and
more. With so much material, it was apparent the group needed a website not
just to store the material, but to make it readily available as a resource.
After a couple of false starts, this website was started in December of
2005 and it is hoped it can be a repository of knowledge for anyone with an
interest in breeding wine, table, and juice grapes and creating new
varieties to extend the range and adaptibility of grape growing.

*The Grape Breeders discussion list *itself, while accessible only to
members, is open to anyone with a genuine interest in breeding new grapes.
To join the discussion list, go to
http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/grapebreeders and follow the
instructions for signing up. You will have several options for receiving
mail. The default setting is to get letters from members as they are sent.
You can also set your subscription to "digest" to get letters in large
batches, or "no mail" and receive none, but be able to go to the website
and read and reply to mail there. There is no cost for joining, and lots of
benefits in sharing with an excellent group of grape breeders.

*Grapebreeders in USA, *

Holding your mouse on a site, you will get you a pop-up with name, location
& GDD info. This GDD is calculated from the average month temperature
during the past 20 years ( from www.weather.com ). Now the info from here
is limited to a 12 months temperature index, meaning that I could miss up
to ½ a month GDD in spring and ½ a month in the other end of the warm GDD
season. So you probably have to add 100-200 GDD in worst case.

and paste this address. (I'm still spam free).*
