To throw a monkey wrench in everything here, I have had a few pods set on
SUKY last spring.

I agree, with a wetter than usual spring and early summer fertility took a
big swing in the opposite direction that it usually takes here. I set many
pods on things that had been difficult in the past and pollen was dry on
many things this spring. I actually was able to set a small pod on SILVER
FIZZ. Just had to try it, it had three seeds in it. Yes I crossed it by a
SA. After a pretty much normal fall here every rebloomer seems to have
pollen on it. Just my personal observations.
