Damn Mark, you should have mailed that spare 255 to someone (me). LOL

Right now I am growing two 307 Bartoli's, a 165 B Cantrell and a 274 Mudd, all of these grafted.Thank you again Batcave N8te. I also have a 228 and a 198 Masterson I will consider and a 274 Kent that started out as a graft and almost died, only to sprout new roots on the original stem - so it is no longer grafted I think.

Looks like this is the year for someone to hit that 300 mark, we are all trying everything.

Good luck to all

Bethlehem CT

These three get the top three spots
1. Dark Carolina Cross. From Cliff Knight I am calling it 'Dark Knight'
2. 238.5 Holloway on a 177 Westfall bushel gourd rootstock
3. 144 Cantrell on a 'Shintosa Camelforce'

The following are being grown also for genetic and eating purposes. BUT I am hopeful one of these will pop a big one or two also...
125 Ciesielski 2010
110 and 101 Holloway Mt Hoosier
204.5 Westfall
239 Finders
240 Cantrell
I planned on growing several more of the Cantrell crosses as I feel they are some of the best. I got them too wet and too hot in the germination stage. I turned them to mush. I actually had my seedlings turn out nicer looking when I germinated them at 77 degrees! Nice big healthy cotyledon leaves, I didn't get any of the bent weak looking seedlings.
My best looking plant is the 144 Cantrell.
I really like the vigor on the 'Dark Knight' too. Hybrid vigor?
