Hi Looks like mine messages had some writing errors, but i think you got still what i wrote. It took time because i had to watch the title what was in there to tell what was in it. Gonebananas hi You welcome. I have found the book you mentioned, but it cost more. Scottfsmith hi How much you learn information about peaches from this book depends how much you know about peaches. If you know a lot of peaches you probably don't learn so much new things by reading of peach book.

Maxim, I have used the following method for years when transporting or shipping cuttings. I insert each cutting in a single white grape, then wrap each at the base with a wet paper towel then secure all in a plastic bag. Works well. In your situation it would be best to check before hand to see if Customs will clear grapes coming into your country. Agricultural laws vary widely.

No, it's not a whack idea at all. I think it depends on the species and its particular natural and evolutionary history. Sea Buckthorn seeds should be specifically adapted to germinating only after being frozen in the fruit, since they are produced late in the growing season, persist on the trees into freezing weather, and therefore must remain viable until spring. Germination definitely cannot take place in the fall, as the soft-tissued seedlings would quickly be killed by the first frosts. So I guess what I'm saying is: give it a try! It might work. By the way, I also love the fruit of some of Elaeagnaceae, such as Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus multiflora), and certain large, red-fruited cultivars of Russian Olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia). They're all very high in vitamins. I suppose you can't order any plants from the US, but Miller Nurseries (www.millernurseries.com) sells what they call "Sea Berry" but which is probably the same plant. If they can't ship to you, maybe they could send some dried seeds? Good Luck, Chris

Too many variables to make a meaningful prediction. One concern, that would seal the plant's fate, is whether of not it's encased in a plastic bag or wrapped in plastic. It won't survive the probability of rot organisms stealing it's viability under those conditions; so if you take the chance, provide directions re how it's to be packed for shipping. Ideally, the plant would be cut back VERY hard, stems only an inch or so long, no leaves left on the plant, the soil would be damp, not wet. A preshipment treatment with a systemic fungicide (tebuconazole) a couple of days before it was prepared for shipping would be VERY helpful. Tell them to loosely cover the soil with plastic wrap to keep it in the pot, but allow SOME openings at the top so the soil can breathe. Then, it would probably make the trip ok and recover rather quickly. You can't find this plant closer to home? Al
