Re: [nafex] Jaffa Orange

Hi Dr. Natelson:

Thanks very much for the E-mail addy and access to the Texas budwood collection.
This is a boon for any serious citrus grower/enthusiast.
Very, very much appreciated. Wonderful to get a lead like that!
And a buck a stick is very reasonable. Heck, nobody works for nothing.
Would you or have you ever heard of Citrus Melangelo? or Bergamia? (Form of Italian-
Aurantium)
Or might you know of, off handedly if Weslaco has any of the Microcitrus Genus?
Last question.....Promise. Do they sell seed as well or have variegated varieties.
Sorry I cheated! (2 questions) : ]

Thanks a million.

Best wishes,
John
