Re: HYB: AR x REB

From: "Donald Eaves" <donald@eastland.net>

Hello Folks,

I've been wanting to ask how much crossing has been done using
arils and arilbreds with rebloomers?  It seems to me that since
rebloomers require more water which keeps them actively growing
in order that they mature enough to bloom and arils and arilbreds
tend to go into dormancy which doesn't allow them to utilize too
much water, that crosses between the two might yield arilbreds
with less dormancy and more ability to handle water during the
summer months.  I believe Walters ARIL REVERIE is a reblooming
arilbred?  But I don't know its heritage genetically.  What I'm curious
about here is not necessarily a rebloomer, but a plant characteristic.
I'm sure some of the above has been done.  Any idea if some of the
results have been more durable in re their ability to withstand more
water?  Am I off base in my thinking?
