Re: [nafex] This is the black diamond apple. Grown in the mountains of Tibet.

Hi all,
I finally was able to settle on6 acres in Rhode Island and want to start planting my fruit trees. My first will be a wild russet from a NAFEX member in Vermont I have personally carried in my car from Boston to Plymouth, MA, to Oregon and now back to Coventry, RI - so now I want to buy a few other trees.

Any suggestions for nurseries in MA, CT, or RI where I could get good sized trees - otherwise, online nurseries that carry heirlooms and varieties such as Crispin...does Cornell ever sell? I've considered Raintree.

Thanks,
Lori
