I have 60 varieties<BR>>here, Hans Peter had about 1200. I have no idea how many of those 1200 are<BR>>still around, many were suffering the effects of phyloxerra in 2002 and I<BR>>had the feeling
most would be dead by now. Only the resistant (if there were<BR>>any), the lucky, the ones I have, and the ones selected for grafting in<BR>>Ontario would have made it. I am culling about 30 of them this year, the<BR>>project is just too big to handle with 60 varieties.<BR>><BR>>Paul<BR>>----- Original Message -----<BR>>From: "Terry Rayner" <terry.rayner@sympatico.ca><BR>>To: <growwine@littlefatwino.com><BR>>Sent: Monday, February 11, 2008 6:11 PM<BR>>Subject: Re: [Growwine] Blattner vines<BR>><BR>><BR>> > Ron, Hans Pfeiffer at Euro Nurseries (Leamington area) has some of the<BR>> > Blattner varieties as well.<BR>> ><BR>> > Terry<BR>> > ----- Original Message -----<BR>> > From: "Ron Olinyk" <rono@mindlinktech.com><BR>> > To: <growwine@littlefatwino.com><BR>> > Sent: Monday,
