9/ Admittedly, Oregon’s status as a center of global rootstock production, and our ready proximity to two of the world’s most diverse fruit collections(4,500 apple varieties, 1K pears, 650 grapes, and so forth) biotically boost our eco-cultural chutzpah. youtu.be/Rh0WKLMN_Xc

Quoted byRT @AgrarianSharing: Here's an example of community-based 'applied biodiversity' in Cottage Grove, OR, this past weekend, as we enlarged our 'neighborhood rootstock diversity' planting. Rootstocks, if you didn't know, hold up our food systems.

How do we find out more?Quoted by@BarMas @asausagehastwo @Slowfood_de @OrchardNotes So here I am, way over in western Oregon, USA, and the book I’ve been waiting upon a lifetime, arrived today. Warden pears. A fascination. And with our proximity to the USDA’s pear repository in Corvallis, OR, we recognize many of the varieties, in person, too.Quoted by@chrisw01 @AlanEDown @jackwallington Thank you, gentlemen. Seems I’ve finally found the UK nursery folk in Twitter. Do you know of anybody your side of the pond who’s talking intelligently about fruit trees on Twitter? I’d so greatly appreciate a pointer or two. This is what my crew are up to.
