Nice list, Chip.  I got many of those apple varieties last spring, and I'm happy to say that most have taken.

It was 55 deg here today.  I can't imagine what you would (or wouldn't) wear outside down here today.

Cold again tomorrow, and that's more than fine to me.

I also had good luck with the scions you sent me last year.  I have a note to get a few more from you this year, but I haven't had a chance to go through the list you put up.

[John and Annette Trout]

No hurry.  Most are chillin' in the fridge.  I've saved a lot of those varieties, but some were pruned and left to rot.  Hopefully I'll have what you want.

[Prof. Kent]

Chip,
 i need Haralred, Snowsweet, Keepsake, & Sweet16.
Of my 24 grafts last year in the espalier orchard only about 3 survived the Spring flood and Late summer drought, so I have start over this year. This year I will plant them in pots and let them grow for a year or two before transplanting them.
If I can trade you for any varieties, please let me know.

Kent,

Sorry for the delay! Too much work and too little fun.  I'll get you these varieties to you shortly.

Kent,

I'll get your scions together tomorrow.  I'll throw in a couple of others.

Varieties I'd like to trade for:

Grape:

- Vanessa

- King of the north

- marquis

- worden

Apple:

- send me a handfull of your favorites.  Last year you said the Shizuka was your favorite.  I think the rabbits got that graft (they are now on my hit list) so I'd like a couple of them.

Chip,

OK, can do. Those grape vines are rather small yet.
It's supposed to stop raining here come Friday or Saturday. I'll collect them then.

The apple scions I already have in the frig.

Apples I like that you don't seem to have are Wealthy, Spigold, Golden Russet, Shizuka, Macoun, Dayton.
I also collected a bunch of Sonata scions from a friend's orchard. He recommends them highly.

Chip,

I packaged the apple scions yesterday. Now I have to get the grapevines.

I got the grapevine cuttings today. I didn't realize how small they would be. Some we are still trying to grow from the ground to the top of the trellis in one year. Maybe this year.

[Prof. Kent]

Chip,
Scions were shipped from the post office Monday morning.
Have fun!
- Kent

Cool! My Turley Winesap grows s-l-o-w-l-y but is shaded quite a bit.
I should propagate it and plant it in good soil with lots of sunlight.

[John and Annette Trout]

I'll send you an apple from your tree for tasting! ....hahahaha

[Kent Eddy]

Now THAT'S ironic.

[Jerry Coon]

My name is Jerry and I live in Iona, Idaho zone 4.

I have scionwood for swap in the following varieties...

Golden russet, Red Astrachan, Early Cortland, Eve's delight, Earligold, Goodland,.

 If you still have some varieties from your old list I'd like

Snowsweet
- Sweet16
- Zestar
- State Fair
- Spitzenberg
- Frostbite
- Grimes Golden
- Ashmead's Kernel

- Grimes Golden
- Ashmead's Kernel

I'd be glad to pay s&h if you don't need any of my varieties. Thanks

[Kent Eddy]

Jerry,

From this list of "wants" I would guess this request is directed toward John Trout?
