As word of Dekopon is spreading and other growers expressed an interest in it, California authorities have recently RE-ACQUIRED its budwood for cleanup and release as a publicly available variety, but it will be at least several years. This delay will give Suntreat at least a 7 year head start before competitors begin harvesting their crops. - Millet

Ah, you just answered the first question on my question list for tomorrow at the Citrus Day tour, Millet. I had asked Dr. Kahn last year about whether they had found any budwood yet, for the Dekopon, and she told me they had sourced the budwood, but at the last minute, it fell through. Very good to know, thanks for sharing.
