I agree! My first arilbreds were "oldies" that had been around quite
a few years. I also purchased them from traditionally non-arilbred
regions like Virginia (Nicholl's Gardens) or Colorado (Willow Bend).
They were not only cheaper but proven to grow in climates
not-so-different from my own. Nowadays I spring for recent intros
and I'm rarely disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the ones with over
50% aril content can be fussy, and they are not as vigorous as TBs
however, they still grow and increase and bloom each year, and that
suits me just fine.
