Thank you again, and do you still have our mailing address? Yes I have it,Val. Jo, John, Alan : I have read your messages and will answer you as soon as possible. I'll send the seeds after the beginning of october. We shall review a little before if you want. As Michel is in connection with some of you, another possibility would be to give him seeds,pits, ... and he passes on them to those who want to proceed so. |

I will happily pay shipping of course, and I have tons to trade.
you must grin from ear to ear, from the time the first trees start producing till the end of the harvests each year.

Which ever way you would like to do it, Biorag. However you may want to remember that he will be flying and will have to come through customs.

I don't forget you and I know I owe answers to some of you. ....I continue harvesting of seeds. A young (crab)apple tree in my daughter’s garden : Everest :   Soon ready to use it in an apple pie .... thanks again ! Today we were harvesting some fruits in my old orchard with my daughter. We don’t visit it very often as you can see ! Before working, we admire the work of spiders :   Two of our favourites : apple “querina” and pear “conference” :  I really like the shape of this apple tree easy toharvest :  Two hours later :  I’ll take a picture of some of this apples soon. |

Wow Wow Wow! So VERY inspirational! I love the weeping shapes of your trees! My youngest would think he had died and gone to heaven surrounded by so many apples!
Send the seeds in whatever method works most efficiently for you. I'm willing to act as a distributor for the US folks. Especially if I'll have to send out seed anyhow. Maybe it would cost less for me to do the Canadian addresses as well? I use the flat rate shipping products from the postal service. It's free for boxes and envelopes, you don't have to weigh it to determine postage, just print out the flat amount and you are good to go. I use it all the time and there is an international version as well.
