Heritage fruits are running a couple of grafting days in July/August which sound good. One is at the CERES centre in Brunswick and the other is at the Collingwood Childrens Farm I think - details are on the website. You can take your stock along to be grafted by the sounds of it.
Hey Anon, if I send you an envelope can you send me some Golden Nugget gooeberry seeds? Phil.

Hi Phil, is this the only contact details you have for the heirloom apples in Melbourne as this web address has never taken me anywhere, I have tried it a few times over the last year or so.

Mary, this web site may be worth looking at,
www.fingerlime.com
these people have been researching our native finger lime. They say on their web site.
Indeed, over seventy-five distinct varieties have been identified and described during the last ten years of research and development.
