Best of luck with this. I was dumbfounded to see how many Dates seem to have disappeared.

I would like to get Drucilla. And will paricipate in keeping some going (don't think I'd have the space for them all).

I had Pink Fly at one time which was a Dates sport, wasn't it? I believe I grew Wham Bang but the rest I never had.
