Re: TB- Seedling - bud/branching

---

Some siblings from crosses here have been fairly uniform in bud
count/branching, others are variable. One cross produced seedlings that
ranged from about 6 up to more than 30.

I think that the really high bud counts and branching are usually
attributed to aphylla ancestry, which also is given credit for black
genes. So your dark seedlings should have a good (?) chance of
producing offspring with more of both. ?

Maybe?
