Those in this category with pollen here would also include LADY MOHR, AT
LAST, NINEVEH and last year a smidgen from JAZZ BABY though it usually
doesn't have any.  I've also had the first three set pods, but only AT LAST
has given full pods (using both TB and AB pollen).  I've only gotten pods
using NINEVEH and JAZZ BABY pollen on non-ABs, no pods using pollen from AT
LAST or LADY MOHR.  I suspect weather conditions and plant health may affect
whether some might produce pollen or set pods.  I believe optimum conditions
may be required, whereas more fertile plants can perform with less than
optimum.  It's a tricky class to work with I imagine.
