Neat trick involves Janet K. Merrill (sp.) and Shirley Pope , but alas no
Glenda Norrick. But its no big deal.... anyway... more to the point.
Like Jeweled crown, in my experience neat trick is pod
sterile. John White , the hybridizer, has a 30ft whole row and it hasn't
made a seed to date. Neat trick is a great pollen parent however if you
are interested in the broken color sort of patterns, as is Appaloosa Blue.
