Are there any 801.5 Stelts remakes? I see seeds that are selfs, sibs and clones but haven't noticed any remakes.

That's interesting. Most of the sweetheart crosses have been remade & the 801 hasn't according to AGGC.

495 Reiss '04 is 801 x self.

827 Garrell '04 is 801.5 x 876.5 Lloyd (same as 846).

I've been wondering about this as well for quite some time.
Maybe there are just none of the parent seeds left? I neither have a 825.5 Shymanski nor a 562 Rose. Otherwise that would surely be the first remake I'd do!
Anyone have any of the two seeds?

The 562 Rose is one of the hardest seeds to find. I have been looking for a long time ,but with no luck .

I also have searched for the 562 Rose and actually believe there are none left.
In 1996 Mr. Stelts selfed the 562 and produced the 680.5
As far as I know it was the only selfing of the 562
I am going to attempt 2 825.5 Shymanski's and 2 680.5 Stelts
this year. Not an exact remake, but as close as it comes.
I believe Nic Welty did the same a few years back.

I'd cross it into a 1370 Rose, because I have this seed.
Maybe cross it into a 901 Hebb, if I had it.
I'd probably self the 801.5 Stelts.

No Place Special

If I had an 801 I would cross it with my 1125 (869.5 Calai X 1225 Jutras) and an 869.5 Calai this year.

I would definitely cross the seed with the 869.5 Calai or 783 Daletas and make as many controlled crosses with it as possible such as with any 869.5 x self or 801.5 x self.
I actually do have one seed packet here from a 300 Plus pound pumpkin which is 801.5 x self and I was planning to plant it but I need to first find out who sent it to me.
It's in a stapled coin envelope labeled in handwriting
"801.5 Stelts x self
300+lbs
Genetics"

I know it's not the remake you are looking for but I thought it would be interesting to post it here.

Hey Ice man, If you have any luck with that cross sign me up for some seeds.

I do not have any 825.5 Shymanski Seeds but i do have a few from the next best thing and that is my 1996 463 which was same as the 825.5 (567.5 Mombert X 968 Zehr). I know it may be impossible to get a hold of a 562 Rose but IF there is anyone who has got a 562 and needs a Seed to do a near possible 801.5 Remake then send me an Email Privately.
