I'm hearing a lot of flat vines from the 1092. mine isn't flat, but the
first few inches of stump are somewhat strange looking, possibly flat then
fixed. A friend of mine, not on this list, is growing a 1092 which has a
triple vine. I think someone said that it was genetic not too long ago,
something to do with excessive inbreeding. This may contribute to a greater
percentage of flats. This might be part of it since the 1092 was selfed.
this is not the whole story, since the 935 came from the 875 lloyd which was
a 614 Neily x752 Craven . The male cross to the 875 was the 909.5, which
was a selfed 687 Lloyd. The 687 Lloyd was also a 614 x 752. This whole
description is easier to see if you're looking at the family tree, but
basically, a lot of the genetics have come from a 614x752 cross.
