I have a similar question.  Is there any way to find out what % aril content
is in the various arilbreds on the market?  Many are just listed as
"arilbred".  But I know that anything over 50% aril content is not likely
to survive here in Cincinnati and I'd hate to spend upwards of $10 for a
rhizome that's going to die before blooming.  :(
