Dan, Raintree is very good and honest.

MrsG47, Five plums is not enough! When the fruit catalogs come out in winter we can't resist!

Dear Theaceofspades. Oh how true. I already have my eyes on two more white peaches. I have created a small one person monster! LOL

I'm up to 10 or more varities of the pome fruits, apples and pears and iritating my wife by shopping for more. I'm already looking for additional sources and checking on ACN website for their 2013 list (sold out of my selections).

I think i have a dead "blushingstar" from ACN... Maybe it was just a bad year for nurseries? I see some of the trees they sent were from Delaware.

My six new trees from Raintree have taken! All should be pruned more, but like most newbie orchardists I'm a bit hesitant. Will post pics. tomorrow of my orchard. Although I have an acre, only my lower garden which is 155' long by 55' is planted. Unfortunately (MORE ROOM) for more trees. Trying to stop now. Mrs. G

My new Imperial Epineuse plum should come from Raintree this week.
