Steve,

I checked out their web site and they offer four rootstocks of various
sizes. What was not clear was the possibility of selecting a
particular rootstock with a given variety. There must be a way to
do that, but I couldn't figure it out.

These people appear to be strictly organic, which is fine whenever
possible. However, certain pests like Plum Curculio, Apple Maggot,
and Coddling Moths probably will require something stronger than
Rotenone, say Imidan.

It is interesting that someone in this group has the power to remove
postings they find offensive. The entire discussion on Heirloom
Apples quoted above has vanished. It includes a defense
my position. Nothing like a little censorship.

All of the messages show up on Google Groups. Other people cannot
remove you messages. It is almost impossible to remove all copies of
your own messages even when you send a rescind message immediately.

One person, Steve (I think) has his messages marked "do not archive"
but they still show up on Google for 10 days.
