[nafex] to Alan (and of course all)

Alan,

A year or two back you made a generalized comment about older strains of Golden Delicious you had access to that had, although you did not phrase it this way, superior flavor when compared to the more muted forms commonly available today.

I am very curious to know how you feel Ambrosia stacks up to your older Golden Delicious strains and also where you would put Razor Russet and Grimes Golden.

Your fluffy friend,

tfb

Alexis, did you use the Steinernema riobrave specifically? If so, where
did you find it?

Re: [nafex] I need your opinion

Jim,

I do hope you get some.

I notice it is native in Minnesota.
http://plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=RUCH

Have you checked with Boreal Natives? They would have a local variety. I buy some plants from them and have been pleased with the quality.

Has the Russian source selected for larger or sweeter fruit?

I have been searching for Cloudberry seeds for years and I finally found
them for sale...online....in Russia. If I order them, what is the
likelihood of getting them?

There is more than one thing called a Cloudberry. Rubus chamaemorus? They
need a cool summer and a winter with plenty of chill hours and acid soil. I
have seed.
I can also supply cuttings but those work better in the fall.
