Paul,
>From talking to Sharon M, I believe Syrian Princess is infertile or
almost so. It is a 3/4 arilbred with unbalanced chromosones. Me,
ignoring all the experts I will try and cross anything. I did cross
Syrian Princess in 1996 with Onlooker and believe it or not got around
50 seeds. Well, thinking I fooled the experts I planted the seeds and
waited. I am still waiting to this day as not a one germinated.
