Looking for very early poms

Post by greenfig »

I am curious if anyone would have cuttings or plants to purchase for the following varieties:

Mollar de Elche
Valenciana. From Spain

Emek, Acco (or Aco or Akko), Shan (or Shani). From Israel

Mridula from India

The country is mentioned as a reference of where it is popular. I am not looking to import them or purchase from abroad. Thanks!

I would appreciate a reference to the official suppliers as well.

I did email them but got no response :(
I can try again but it would be good to email to a person, not to a general customer service address.
