Dennis, I doubt that you will get very arilmedians from the
above. You will get mainly tall quarter arils and occasionally a 'runt'
might show up and you can call it an aril median...somewhat similar to a
border iris coming from two talls having been crossed.
I also think you mean 50% tall and 100% TB hybrid.
If you want arilmedians (arilmeds) you need to cross the fertile
arilmedians with each other as Sharon mentioned, or you need to cross
SDB's with 50% arils. You can also use fertile IB's (not always fertile
on every occasion though) with 50% arils. To be sure of getting an
arilmedian use SDB's with your arilbreds.
