Re: [nafex] Mn 447



I received scionwood from David Bedford at U Minn's Hort Research 
Center. He referred to it twice in a note he included as Mn 447 (not 
477) I had to sign a non-propagation testing agreement. The May 1991 
issue of HortScience has a lengthy article on the breeding program in 
Minnesota.  It is also listed there as Mn 447(not 477).

The way to get wood in the states would probably be to contact David 
Bedford.  I suspect it will do fine in the North East.  As I recall, 
David told me that they didn't release it because that "Sweet Sixteen" 
flavor is so intense they thought it would be too much for people. I'm 
looking forward to it. Mine has not fruited yet.
