I would have to agree with you Al and will know for sure this season as the
seedlings in my test batch were in sterile soil in pots as i heated the
soil at high temps to sterilize it...they haven't touch the ground yet....
and the wondered if you could tell this early on that they are sending
doubles.........I let this grow out for a while and see if if developed
flat vine..........but right now looks to be genetic.....seems if it was a
soil born problem then you would see it each season...brock
