Does there happen to be an index of the varieties that were available at this year's recent scion exchange? A few of my tags are now a little hard to read as a result of the moisture in the plastic bag. A list would stimulate my memory to fill in the blanks on some of those more obscure varieties that I can't seem to find in the Fruit and Berry inventory.
Great job everyone on the exchange this year!
…speaking to ‘others,’ don’t we usually (or eventually) publish the varieties in the Pome News, or not? I know it’s daunting! I think a data base is kept as well, but don’t know if I should bug ‘him’...? (Tod, you out there?)
Gosh folks, you need to really make sure of your new varieties… Many are “sports,†or re-named genetic variations of well known varieties (or cultivars) that won't likely show up anywhere … other than our yearly scion exchange! Permanent markers & high-quality masking tape are a must!
At the grafting table, none of my customers get to go before marking their new trees (if they won’t, I will – rootstock’s too!). Several ‘insisted’ they’d remember the names – and distinguish their unmarked newly grafted trees... I insisted they mark them there, it’s too easy to mix stuff up or just plain forget – especially after looking over and discussing …what? -- a hundred and fifty varieties!

I suspect that is a substantial subset of what was at the HOS fair. He may chime in that was his source.
