John I was a member for a couple of years but found the only benefit was getting their newsletter, which gave a few cultivation tips and recipes but not a lot else to offer if you don't live in Adelaide. Was hoping there would be scion wood and seeds for swap or sale but in the end gave up after putting in a request for jujubes which wasn't even published in their communications column. They do have grafting days and swap meets but all very localised. It's a pity there isn't something like it in other states - I'm sure it would work well elsewhere.

Yeah the articles weren't too bad but somewhat brief. I really joined to get hold of some interesting varieties they have but seems to be hard to break into if you're not a visiting member - there is a swap/sell column but you really need to travel there to use if effectively. Their website is interesting enough, some good lowdowns on subtropical plants, and they are doing a lot to preserve heritage fruits. $20 isn't bad to check it out for the year.

Amen to that Phil. Unless you're a local you will just get the newsletter. Nobody responded to my emails. I, like you Phil, was after varieties of fruit. I think this would be great for any state other than the state of Adelaideville ;-)

Hey Jimmy,
I'm guessing that you pay the $20 regardless of what services you participate in.
I want to have a look in the members area of their website. For $20 you get full access for a year.
