Re: [nafex] Question about this list for subscribers.

Hi Waite

I'm in the western suburbs of Philadelphia PA. More like the northern
suburbs of Wilmington DE actually, but Wilmington isn't as well known, and
I do live in PA, not DE.

I am a backyard fruit grower, with several heavily grafted apple trees, a
pear tree, 5 or 6 potted figs, several native plums including maritima from
the DE coast, many Ribes, several Elderberry including some of the newer
selections, and a selection of blueberries. Oh, also some seedling American
Persimmon and pawpaw, and some nut seedlings including Hickory, Northern
pecan, black Walnut, and some hicans. Think that's about it. Sounds like a
lot but most are in pots as we've only been at our current location for a
couple of years.
