I propose that we come up with say 10 clem varieties to study over the next few years. Ones that even some of us newbies might have or could get by October this year. Hopefully we can get enough of the same ones in all of the different locations from the south to the north. (And those in counties outside of the US, we of course welcome your input as well)
We will start in October and for those that would like to participate, Wonderful!
Here are some of the guidelines to get started with. Please post any other things that we need to take into consideration.
I love creating spread sheets and once we decide on all of the factors, I will then create the spread sheet and make it available to the group here.
