I think R. Weaver still sells Buckfast in Texas. I have never bought from them, but that is what they claim, I think. I have bought from their cousins, BWeaver.
I talk to Richard several times a year, and Daniel once in a while. Both would tell you that while based on buckfast genes, they have defiantly crossed into the Mutt area.
I bought 50 myself from Daniel last summer. No comments yet on how there doing as they were nucs to be wintered. So far all are alive, and none were hot.
