I haven't gone through all of it yet, one thing I did just read was the winter mortality page. All trees in that study had seen low temps of -32

The first link just takes me to this thread in a new window NH, is that top link incorrect?

Sorry BV.
It was a hidden page on their website that I got off the organic forum. I can't find it now.
I put the research landing page in there for now.

The thing to keep in mind on the cold tolerance is his soils are probably not as sandy as you guys but, at least it's a start.

That's it. It gives a good overall picture of their land and conditions.

Wow, what an awesome find! I've been reading this all morning, makes me think if I should graft some of the varieties I have the in the fridge or not. LOL!

After reading the PDF that BV posted, I wonder if this was somehow grant funded? Certainly reads like grant language

After reading the PDF that BV posted, I wonder if this was somehow grant funded? Certainly reads like grant language Certainly could be as it would be quite an undertaking but they must have had the trees or coarse already fruiting to come up with 1/2 that info. They do mention about dwarfing rootstock which confused me as they seem to contradict themselves a bit..... Dolgo, antonovka, ranetka, prunifolia, Selkirk seedling are used, and in a limited sampling, budagovsky 118 (full vigor) clonal stock was used. Nearly all accessions have various rootstock represented. Although testing was done with dwarfing rootstocks, and a few remain in the orchard, nearly all examples (of over 100) died for various reasons. No dwarf trees were used as grafted rootstock in the study. Hmmm.... I find this confusing as heck.
