EOMF event on Wednesday; I just checked the website and list of speakers. Nothing turns my crank so I won't be going. Have fun if you do.

And two tree nursery websites worth looking at: http://www.earthgen.ca wainfleet ON and http://www.hardyfruittrees.ca Sainte Julienne qc

Not to mention www.morinurseries.com which is a big supplier to your local garden centre
