An admirable performance, yes, but not a record. Blue Sapphire is about
15 years older and just dropped off the Symposium a couple years ago or
so. Stepping Out is a bit older than KL, and is regularly still in the
top 10.
Not sure where KL grows well, though.

And Stepping out had rot here. It had not been dug here. I had more rot this year than in the last five years. Most of the rot was on ones I dug and replanted. Only one case on new ones and it was on a large increase.
I even had rot on SDB's. I don't remember that happening before. Very hot and humid and little rain most of the summer.
