Default Re: POMEGRANATES - anyone?

You're quoting yourself in that last post Richard. Won't anybody talk to you anymore??!!! LOL Just joking. Part of the thing I liked about The Incredible Pomegranate is that it also included tasting results from different tasting events over the prior couple of years. These results were based on dozens of people, not just a few of us. The propagation information is basic but sufficient for a hobbiest. I believe you're reviewing it to higher standards such as as a scientific book that often is of limited use to a hobbyist.

There is nothing published yet about the tasting event, it's just a private e-mail from Jeff Moersfelder and myself. The currator of the repository also gave Jon and a couple of other fig fans (and myself) a tour of the facilities at Davis including those fancy pieces of equipment used to test DNA, etc. and mentioned that they were also going to include kiwi as part of this year's pom tasting. I just hope the weather is good.
