Re: [nafex] importation of scions?

["JERROLD KOERNER" <j.f.koerner@worldnet.att.net>]

I tried a couple of times to get the Brogdale Horticultural Trust people to
send me scionwood.  I have a current USDA Import License but Brogdale said
that they could not meet the disease free requirements of the permit,
claiming that they had a 2% incidence of Brown Rot.  That was a few years
back and things may have changed by now.  I don't know if you have enough
time to get a permit before you leave.  But if you are successful please
bring back some scions of Summer Golden Pippin, an apple that Lee Calhoun
mentions in his book on Old Southern Apples as being grown in western North
Carolina for many years prior to 1900.  The variety now appears to be
extinct in the U.S.
