On the hill that has not been culled one plant is the 628.2 Wallace (1997)
which has the Mombert 567.5 x self as its parents. The Wallace was planted
outside on May 15th and the main vine is about six feet.
The second plant is the 968 Sproule (1998) which has the the 690 Sproule x
self as its parents. The Sproule was planted outside on May 25th and the
main vine is about eight feet.
Both plants are equally healthy.
From a genetic stand point should I stick with the Wallace? Or go with the
Sproule which is growing more rapidly?
Thanks for any comments you can send,

Leslie, If you want great color go with the Wallace plant, If your after
size (weight) I think the Sproule plant is a better bet.
