Thanks y'all. Got it on order. D

I don't know Rodney. Never had it before. If you have some you like I'd certainly or trade for some. Regards, Dan

Hi John, I would argue that both of those contribute to freedom though.....  D

Silversapote, Thanks for the insight into the taste. I'll be looking forward to it.
  My little Pringle's had a quickly rigged frame put in it which was intended to contain a heat lamp....but the power was off for at least 5 days. Not just rolling blackouts, but a pole actually fell, and we weren't top priority. So it seems to have survived multiple days of close to single digits. I wish my satsumas were as hardy.
 

Brad, please accept my apologies for dragging you into that. I owe you a beer. D

I am impressed! They don't call you bovine for nothing, do they?

Awesome! I'm sure several will want to. Everyone can take any precautions they want. Looking forward to it! Let's p.m. D

Hi Folks, Before the whole covid thing started some of us were talking about getting together to swap plants, stories and maybe lies about plants... I think it's time we move on. I suggest we set a time early this Summer and proceed. I'm as done with masks as Brad, but if a mask makes someone more comfortable wear away! Anyway, it might be best to take this to p.m.s so we don't waste everyone else's bandwidth. Let me know! D

  There was discussion of pringle's sapote being cold hardy a while back. The best known tree was in Houston, at a nursery. It was said to have endured 13°F. That was a mature tree.
  I have a small one planted in S. Texas. It is on a ridge, exposed to whatever comes. In our last taste of "real" Winter, the 3 foot seedling was exposed to close to single digits with just a small frame over it. I had rigged heat lamps, but as was widely reported, we had no power for about 5 days due to blackouts and a power pole down close by.
  I thought it was toast, just like our citrus, but it is putting out new growth! More evidence that they are quite cold hardy.

Hi Derek, I can send you a bunch of cuttings in a few weeks. I need to train my apples. I have the usual suspects, anna, ein shemer etc. Do you have plums? I need to cut them back as well. D

Merry Christmas to all! The greatest gift from The most high.
And yes, we had lasagna last night. Yummy.

I can only tell from their flowers. The male flowers hang like a bell and the female flowers are upright. D
