I did not order from GRIN this year, I just kind of let myself down in that regard. So many things got going on tail end of summer and fall I missed it. Stupid Dan, stupid.......
Maybe a year off won't be so bad, I can focus on the stuff I got a bit more?

I've got some scions coming from Fedco I try to only pay for scion with the temperate orchard conservancy because it's such a great thing thing they are dong. I have bought from Fedco, Derek and a few others over the years however.

I heard a lot of horror stories last year as they were changing over orchard sites.

I was a part of that debacle, you can't blame a staff of volunteers trying to keep things straight and messing some orders up. Least I don't blame on petty stuff like that, consider it a donation.
I did get some varieties I'd wanted last year however. There is 1 particular variety I've chased for 5 years among diff sources, I hope to acquire it from them this year, this will be my 3rd attempt to get it form them but the original source is limited, and they are the only known source in the country, we will see.

Looks like even TOC doesn't have Bastian's orange flesh crab. I got scions from a guy on the fruit forum last year, but they were tiny and didn't appear to be the previous year's growth. I got zero takes. I think Richard Fahey/Singing Tree may have that variety. I may have to pay him next year.
edit..shit, I just looked at Singing Tree's 2020 list and they don't have it either. I may just give up on that one

I may just give up on that one I got it from like 3 sources either last year or 2 years ago, none of mine took either. I'll ask around on that one and let you know what I find.

I checked with greyphase last year (I think) and he didn't have it. Pretty sure I asked Crazy Ed too. edit...I see Derek offered it at one point, so he's probably still got it now. I'll try getting it from him next year I guess

Did any of Art’s grafts take of Bastian’s Crab? I believe he moved out of NH but, I can try emailing him.

If it's surviving, just let 'er go until it has some good growth. I can wait

I may just give up on that one I have some coming in the mail, I'll be splitting half of it to you in the mail.
I'll need your address in a few weeks.
