Chokecherries are a shrub. Takes a few years before they would bear fruit. Also I don't know any nursery that sells them. They grow wild in ravines. That means they need more water than the average field. Lots of chokecheeries near streams. Not as near as willows but close.

The income is lower and the cost is growing higher....... And then there are discussion about these higher yield products, so why don't the farmers grow the better yield crops? African Oil plants or the chokecherries? Climate or weather limitation? Cost too high? (I may retire earlier to start my own farm, if these are the star crops for the future!) So why don't you? The growing demand of BioFuel and the corns and Soy beans are not the best sources for biofuel? Seem to be a simple solution but did I miss anything? Instead of asking for the government to keep on funding, maybe if the farmers switching to the higher yield crops. Then we will see some Farmer Tycoons over those oil Tycoons? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neoteric Biofuels Inc" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <biofuel@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 8:55 AM Subject: Re: [biofuel] good oil crops for England > They do.
