Thought i'd pass this along. www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/geneva-ny/plant-genetic-resources-research/docs/collection-tour-sept-16-2017 Apple, Grape, and Tart Cherry Collection Tour The Clonal collection of Plant Genetic Resources Unit, USDA-ARS, Geneva, NY is pleased to announce our annual open house on September 16, 2017, Saturday from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. The location is at McCarthy Farm, 2865 County Road 6 (Preemption Road), Geneva, NY, 14456 (across from St. Mary’s Cemetery). It is going to be two hours walking tour on uneven ground through the orchard and vineyard. We will walk and talk for 10 minutes about the collection overall, 10 minutes about the tart cherry collection, 70 minutes about the apple collection, and 30 minutes about the grape collection.

It's an hour from my wife's aunt and uncle's house but, that is the first weekend of our archery season and I still may be bear hunting.
BV, are you spending the $350 on the Dan Bussey book set?

If it makes you feel better it's 6 or 7 books so the average is a lot less.

I was tempted but, I think I'll put the $350 to other habitat use like Lime and tree cages.
