Subject: Tetraploids in Hosta
Jim
As with Daylilies, I would expect to see some
outward manifistation of tetraplodid in such a hosta. I don't know of
any test that has "proved" any of those you mentioned, to be tets. If
they have been tested, By Ben and he can give me the actual facts, I
would like to know about it. I really have to wonder about the first two
mentioned . What charisteristics in those plants would even lead one to
suspect they might be tets? I have two that I also do suspect could
be. Those are Eagles Nest( probably a partial) and Oh My Heart.
Thanks
Ran

Tony Avent has
published a method for inducing Tets in Hosta and states
that There are 3
in existence on the market currently Patriot, Night Before
Christmas and
Grand Tiera. He states that this has been confirmed by DR
Zonneveld.
