Re: [nafex] Pruing/Growth



I also subscribe to apple-crop, a mailing list for commercial apple 
growers.  (Which I'm not, but I still find it interesting.)  There's 
been a fair amount of chat about Apogee, and I'd say the verdict isn't 
in, yet.  I gather it doesn't entirely live up to it's claims.  Lots of 
growers are trying it, though.
