I didn't realize the sent box does not automatically save your messages. I am pretty sure I was in contact with someone here that was interested in my shipova, but I can't figure out who.

Bump!  Not sure if you can edit the title to a post, but this is ON topic.  You might get more response if you could have titled it like HELP! Need person I promised my Shipova to contact me!

Good luck to you!

Not everyone reads this forum every day, so this post could easily get lost again.

Nice bump DD, we don't want folks ta skipova this thread about someone wanting her ta shipova some Shipova :)

I still wonder what your shipova is ... Hopefully something decent :) .

Shipova is a cross between a pear and a mountain ash. I haven't had it fruit yet.

Me? Along with some apple varieties and Mulberry?

Excuse me if I'm repeating common knowledge -- someone may have binova this already...  (...sorry, I didn't get the full "pova" in there...just the "ova".  If I come up with something better, I'll come back and edit the post.)

See, now I am confused.  I thought this thing was a fig, but it is off topic.  And it's part pear and part some kind of mountain ash?  Wow!  I do not think they could mate.  JMHO!

But whoever contacted you should step up!

Rui, I am sending you cuttings. I don't think I was going to send the whole tree, was I? I wish I could remember where I put my brain! I thought I spoke with someone in North Carolina or at least in the south-east. I have always depended on the sent-box to refresh my memory but there is no sent box here, so I am out of luck.

BTW: Rui, I have a nice set of scion to send you. Do you have a pear tree to graft the shipova to? 

Isn't Maria Shipova a tennis player?

har, har...

She's a little unstable -- now it's Maria Tipova...
There! I got the "pova" rhyme to make up for my lame rhyme in post #7.  I'm done now, I can go to bed...

if it's maria sharapova cuttings, i'll take some. only if it's true to the type and regenerate maria sharapova. 

LOL, Pete, that Gin doing you some good? ;)

blueboy, problem with drinking is.. after awhile, you don't get drunk, nor too happy. just thirsty. good thing about g&t is it's very refreshing. sort of like light beer, but not the domestic stuff. well.. i take that back. coors light still hits the spot now and then. 

My grandfather was like that, he could drink all day and you would never know. Never even stumble or slur. The only way you could tell is he had to go to the bath room every 30 min. Ive never been a big drinker. I always preffered the greener alternative when I was younger but kids and work will not allow that behavior any more. Come on retirement!

your grandfather sounds like my best friend's parents. when i first met them first thing they said was "there's few cases for beer in the back of the station wagon. help yourself" x) we used to hang out at the beach every summer. cases and cases of beer. "not just for breakfast" had real meaning back then. :) only cure for hang over is.. more beer!

I finally figured it out! mgginva! Sending you a PM

Milehigh, I do have a pear, and I was only looking for scion, not trees.
And I think I figured out a way to send you some figs in about two months.
