| My wife and I just bought a 4 acre farmette near Reading PA. We are working at obtaining trees and fruits to plant on it. I would really like to plant some Keepsake apple trees, preferably on dwarf rootstock, M26 or smaller, but I cannot seem to find anyone selling them. This must be a very popular apple. Can anyone help me out? Thank you. Ted in Reading, PA |

| This is easy... Cummins has them on G.16 dwarfing, and I bet Maple Valley has them on B.9 or M.26 if you just give him a call. Good luck! |

| I guess that is part of my problem. I actually ordered these trees from Cummins and they did not have them. I will have to be more persistent with Maple Valley. I sent them an e-mail several weeks ago and they did not get back to me. Thanks, Ted |

| I don't think email is the best way to get ahold of Tony. Just call him, he'll hook you up with what you want. |
|
| You may also want to try Cummins again- when I looked the other day I didn't see Keepsake. But now, they have G16 listed as in stock (3 in inventory). |
|
| Maple Valley also has them on B9 in case you are still looking. They just put up their tree-list earlier this month. |

| Thanks for your responses. I have a local orchard friend who grows these apples for market, and he saved a bunch of scion for me to graft. Grafting is great fun, but you lose a year or two in fruit production. Maybe I'll check with Maple Valley. Thanks. Ted |
