Hi:
George, the list owner suggested I introduce myself.
I'm a horticulturist/garden writer/consultant working with fruit in
western Oregon. I did my graduate work as a plant breeder and the man I
studied with happened to be a grape breeder. That, combined with some other
factors, led me into being a private grape breeder when I graduated as I
didn't care to live in the places where there were university positions
open. People started coming to me for grapes they couldn't find elsewhere
and I wound up with a business selling cuttings of many of my 200+
varieties. I've written a large, definitive book on grape growing that
will be out this fall from Chelsea Green (www.chelseagreen.com) . I do work
with a lot of other fruits besides, though, including a lot of uncommon
ones. Rather than bore you, I'll suggest you look at my web site for the
details. Grapes, writing, consulting, more, plus word on my grape book at

I am also the list owner of a list for garden writers (wannabes, and
people in other areas of the horticultural industry included.) If you want
