Just wondering if anyone planted this one.

Considering the genetic background of the parents I would think that someone would have planted it.

935 Lloyd X 946 Geerts

plus it went heavy....

In 2000 I planted a 471 Hester 99 which is the reverse cross. It grew my biggest that year, 520 lbs. and it was my 1st year in a new patch.
it is amazing how many good crosses are out there that no one has planted. a little while ago i ask if anyone had planted a 1173 Mombert 02, 846 Calai x 1097 Mombert 7% heavy. I got no replies either.

Thanks Gordon.

Must be a case of too many seeds - so little time.
I still like the genetics of this one.


Still no info on the 1173.

Tom said he heard of one person planting the 1173... nothing special from it.
I was thinking of planting it and crossing it with the 865 Mettler. but i don't know for sure... still a lot of time for chaning my mind.

826.5.....same cross as the 801 Ciliberto which threw a 1000+ something
Been contemplating it myself...so many seed, so little space and time.

To my knowledge, the 826 has never been planted.
