A friend who went to the mulberry/prunus tasting at Wolfskill yesterday and included the following message:
I was surprised to hear this as just last August at the fig/grape tasting he said that they welcomed individual orders.
The event was organized by John Preece (station leader), Jenny Smith (mulberry, kiwi, persimmons), and Carolyn DeBuse (stone fruits).
The most important piece of info from John's talk for me was that the repository will not be accepting individual orders for the plant material anymore. They were overwhelmed with the orders they were asked to fulfill this spring and they are not done with them yet. They simply do not have the resources to continue with this kind of practice. They still will be supplying material to the institutional researches and to the growers organizations like GRFG. So we will need to do the organizational orders.
