I just learned the reason thy aren't very popular in the U.S. is that they were banned in the early 20th century here because they carried a disease called White Pine Blister Rust which is deadly to that tree.

currants, i think, were the same. both are damn good and the alley is providing. the post war Italians that came to this neighborhood really set things up for success if you like fresh fruit.

Can't be Tanner. He died looking for his ankles in Chad's Gap years ago

**~mikey b** · 07-13-2023, 12:32 PM

I told OB to ask him if he knew how to get to Chad’s Gap

That was all a fraud. Turns out he's been living with Elvis and Jim Morrison in South America.

All members of the Ribes genus can act as the alternate host for the blister rust (Cronartium ribicola) Eradication was attempted for a spell but gave up for two reasons: wild ribes are very prolific, and the dispersal of the spores from the ribes can travel 10s of km with the right conditions (dispersal from the white pine half of the rust’s cycle does not travel nearly as far).

Efforts now are focused on breeding programs to select for resistance/tolerance, and only such genetic worths are allowed to be planted, at least here in BC. The greatest concern now is that the blister rust affects all 5-needle pines, which includes endangered whitebark pine and limber pine (P.albicaulis and P.flexilis). Big efforts now on collecting as much genetic inventory as possible for both, and a cross-border effort is being made to plant whitebark wherever possible in conjunction with other high elevation reforestation efforts. Very cool program actually.

I had my car in for service yesterday and they had this car on display. Apparently this was the first mass-produced Honda, called the Z600. It's ten feet long and weighs 1,300 pounds. Powered by a two-cylinder motorcycle engine.
