contingent on if you receive a hard copy or digital version of their magazine.

Great lineup, wish I could be there.

Nice , wish I lived in California ....

Nice! And I will be out of town :(

I definitely want to go...
Is it possible to go without registering first? I'm not a member

Yes, you can still go, Aaron. Ours in Santa Rosa lets members in an hour earlier, and for non-members it's $5.00 entry, I think. You can join at the exchange if you wish.

I so wish I could go.  Everyone that can, have a great time, hope you get everything you are looking for.

Although I am registered with the O.C. Chapter, I decided to check out the L.A. Exchange this morning. I am so glad I did. The members were all very friendly, generous, and knowledgable people. I wish I could have stayed longer. It was really nice meeting you Tyro.

I got some cool stuff I didn't see at the O.C. Scion exchange last week. I am particularly excited about trying to root the fig cuttings from you, Tyro, and the Marseilles Black VS that I got. Did you bring that too? I hope go to the Foothill Chapter exchange on February 7th at the L.A. Arboretum too, to see if there is anything I can't live without. I'll bring some Strawberry Verte to that one.

Hi Lianne,

Yes I brought the MBVS,but the Preto is the bomb.<G>

Cheers,

Paul

Paul, it was a pleasure meeting you, 
Thanks for the pics :)

I had a great day myself, meeting several people. Got to know , in person, Dr Watts finally. What a nice guy...

Likewise Aaron,cute kid.As Lianne mentioned there's another one of
these going off at the Foothill chapter 2.7.15.

Nice drive,younger crowd.

Cheers,

Paul

Looks like it was a great time. That is a lot of scionwood, I sure hope to be able to attend some day. 


We also had our CRFG scion exchange today, the Redwood Empire in Santa Rosa. Amazing amount of scion varieties, and a large crowd. 40-50 varieties of figs, including many numbered Italian varieties. I got some pluots to graft to my plum tree, a Kanko Loquat tree, and some Izu Persimmon scions, among other things. A wonderful organization.

Beautiful area up there Gary,pulled Luther Burbank in with it's climate.Wish I could
have been at that meeting as well.I lived in Novato for a hot second back in the early
"70"s.You could still buy a "shotgun shack" on a 1/2 acre in Petaluma  for 30k back then.

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Paul, yes, prices have changed since the 70's, but the climate is still wonderful, and the area beautiful. Everyone seems to be growing food around here, there is such abundance. This next Saturday is the Mendocino Permaculture scion and seed exchange. It is amazing the varieties available for free,especially apples and pears. Let me know should you ever visit up this way. Good growing,

Gary
