Duarte is the largest grape stock supplier in North America and will be greenhouse propagating olive trees from summer cuttings, as is the usual Italian practice. Approximately 57,000 Frantoio and  7,500 Leccino will be available in late summer 1999 at $8.00 per tree. Parties interested in orders of 200 and more, wholesale, or requiring shipping should contact Julie Medina, Duarte Nursery 209-531-0351 or E-mail John@DuarteNursery.com directly.
