| Well, instead of trying to find info on Grower's Pride, how about posting the varieties, and perhaps forum members can give you chill hours for the various cultivars you're interested in? Patty S. |

| I recommend ordering your trees from a reputable supplier. Even if you get specific info on varieties how do you know trees are labeled correctly? Investing in trees from a reliable source is well worth some added expense. Growing fruit successfully is hard enough with the right varieties. |

| It is strange that a local Co-op would not be a reputable source. Master Gardeners are likely to be involved with a local Co-op and through that particular organization you should be able to get some decent information. Usually bare root plants a dug during dormancy and sold just about the time that they're coming back to life. I see you are from a warm zone and your concept of chill hours would have different significance than ours. |
