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
