I am thinking of breeding a tree for improvement. It is a
catkin-bearer. That creates both opportunities and problems.

Can anybody put me in touch with a breeder who could help me with
breeding methods, how to produce mutations, etc, etc.

I would be most grateful

I think a bit of reading would be better, most breeders try and earn
money at it so would be interested in your paying them to do it but not
in telling you how to cut them out of the loop!


Ah, but I can be pretty sure nobody else is thinking of breeding
Alders. But yes, I do plan to read books. But I can't find any. I
don't know what key words would bring out books of interest on Google.
Can you suggest?

I fed 'Plant Breeders Alders' into Google and came up with quite a few
articles.

Like :- Results 1 - 10 of about 30,400 for Plant Breeders Alders. (0.29
seconds)

But we are all aware that as you go down the list, it drifts like an on
topic subject on here to something way out of tune :-))

Kind regards

Mike
