The Mandared should be released in FL any time. The Lemox, no idea, but it would be great to have that here as well.

There were a lot of very interesting hybrids in that link and it wasn't a new link. It's a shame how slow these things move forward to a commercial product. What's sad is that half of them never make. I wonder what the cold hardiness of the Lemox would be. Let me know if you hear anymore on the release of Mandared.

The Italian nursery COVIL, of which Mr. Vito Vitelli is technical director says: "Lemox will be initially introduced into some south Italian regions. Later it will be introduced in Spain, North America, Chile and South Africa as well. He adds, "our nursery will produce about a million Lemox trees, and we are studying a new technique in order to obtain Lemox trees of very light plants that will be rooted in sterile ground, which can then be transported by air freight without phytosanitary problems." - Millet
