This is where I have been watching for poncirus+ specifically https://themulberries.org/product/trifoliate-orange-conestoga/ . There is lots more on my wishlist list.

We have lots of 1 quart trees we are slowly making available now. I have to check how they’re doing, but we will have some 1 gallon that are very close to being ready.

Translated, Clark, order some trees. Hint, the website has a habit of locking at “out of stock”. If you reload the page, you may be able to get it to load a variety into the cart.

You’re welcome, and haha @Fusion_power is right. We are out of stock more than we are in stock, which usually lasts about a weekend before we are back out of stock

Are you propagating Conestoga 058?

I would like to, but right now I have only grafted them to multiply our own mother trees. I’m waiting for fruit, since we don’t quite know yet. I’m sure once it fruits this variety will get some attention!
Similarly, I will make a lot of our own varieties available once they’ve fruited and we can assess if they are worth distributing.

Remember the naysayers told burbank the same things they will tell you, that it can’t be done , but like many others he did it with seeds https://academic.oup.com/genetics/article-abstract/158/4/1391/6049528?redirectedFrom=fulltext

Plant Breeding Giants: Burbank, the Artist; Vavilov, the Scientist

Extract
LUTHER Burbank was a curious mixture: part gardener, part artist, part P. T. Barnum. He was responsible for a plethora of improved fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. Some of these were of lasting significance, such as the Burbank potato, the Santa Rosa plum, the Phenomenal blackberry, and the Shasta daisy. His successes depended on judicious employment of several techniques: he selected the best seedlings from large fields with enormous numbers of plants, he imported promising strains from around the world, he made crosses between distantly related varieties and even species, he exploited skillful grafting, and he astutely utilized vegetative propagation of superior recombinants, thereby preserving their genotypes. Probably his greatest contribution to science was discovering nonsegregating, true-breeding hybrids, such as from a cross between a raspberry and blackberry, that were later understood to be amphidiploids. He pioneered in regarding these as another mode of species formation. He was a popular hero, far and away the most highly publicized plant breeder of his time (Burbank 1914–1915; Howard 1945–1946; Dreyer 1993). He died in 1926, a rich man.

It’s not much and i haven’t taken a photo of it yet, but i managed to get a new light pink flower strawberry that is turning out to be an everbearing variety! So far it’s still a small plant but it creates runners too and for most of last year, i only threw Charlottes into the pot that it was in. It’s giving a little bit of alpine characteristics and even as a small, 1 year old plant from seed, it’s berries are medium sized currently. I’m excited to have yet another own variety of mine that might be just as good as Charlotte but with pink flowers! I haven’t tasted it yet, just found it recently growing under a fig tree from last year.

methinks Clark needs to use his best reading glasses. That was a pink strawberry blossom.
He did say that it’s “like” 
Most of my random pop ups have been typical white flowers. This is the first time I’ve gotten pink flowers on a random strawberry pop up.
This one is a possible pop up too but the plant is now 2 years old. It has the typical white flowers.
I have another pop up but it’s completely alpine type that came up in a pot filled with Monterey strawberries. Unremarkable though but I’m keeping it just cause i don’t like killing things.
I’ll take photos later today when I’m outside. I have someone coming by to pick purslane and its close to the purslane pots.

No one yanked your chain we are talking pink strawberry blossoms. Lol I say pears and you show up hahaha.
I’m excited about those i think it’s great. I think @Fusion_power likes to troll every positive accomplishment because we are having to much fun at this. Lol , He is really going to get his blood pressure up when he finds out what I’m growing lol

I’m an alien from another planet. We don’t have blood pressure. But just to add to the conversation, I finally found a pear with red blossoms.

Now you are just teasing me! Harrow sweet I had always hoped would have a sport branch eventually as you know it has pink striped buds like others but white blossoms.
Fig! What type are they?
It’s on a pot of Borda Barraquer.
The roots are pinkish and you can see the pink petals dried up. Fruit isn’t ready yet
