No cost, and while they ask you to pretty please let them know the outcome of your research, you don’t have to file anything.
Wow. That’s so cool.
I feel somehow weird actually benefitting from my tax dollars somehow in a personal individual manner...
I also see you can order cuttings of various varieties of fruits and trees. I’m definitely going to do that this winter/next spring. I’ve been wanting to work on a cross between Dormanred raspberry (tolerant of our heat, soil diseases and stuff) that’s a cooking raspberry (IF you like them tart you’re in business with fresh Dormanreds, otherwise it’s cooking for you!) and something with a little more fresh eating vibe. I’ll probably have to keep the ‘other’ plant in a pot to put inside when the temps get and stay over 90/70.
I’m psyched!
