 Hi George...I talking of the living dead,I used your 560 seed as a 
pollinator in my "best bet orange" cross...720Hester x 560Brooks. I am 
curious as to how the 560 did for you,even when left alone,and how it may 
have done for others last year when you offered seed out. I posted you a 
couple times with a picture of my nieghbore 560 fruit but you may not have 
gotten it. Any info to share on the 560 results?...Glenn

It grew a 500+ on a Ribbon Vine even with the drought stress that caused both 
of my plants to mature early.  In September it did develop a soft spot from 
disease caused be neglect on my part.  I grew 4 seeds and thinned to this 
plant because it was growing 3 times faster than the others were.  At the 
time I did not realize that the speed was caused by the fact it was going to 
be a mutant vine which didn't appear until it reached 4'.  Next year I will 
know better.  Gee I thought I knew everything about these, ya right.  This 
again will be one of my seed choices, not sure what else I will try yet.  
Have lots to chose from.  Your post is probably in my mail somewhere, I will 
look for it.


George
