What would you guys and gals like to see a 748.5* Koch crossed with??

The 748.5 is 895 Hester X 900.5 Lyons.

Thanks,

it might be nice to mix some old Gancarz or Stelpflug genes into it... the 312 Welty could be cool, it's an 829 Gancarz x 895 Hester (might be the reverse), it grew and 800lber a couple of years ago.

Mike, I thought about doing that cross but was talked out of it because what happens if that 900 lyons seed you have only grows orange pumpkins. You would be crossing orange into the 748 Koch.


But you can also luck out and have a seed from the 900 lyons that grows green aswell.

But even if the 900 seed you grow does produce a greenie and you cross it into the 748 it could still pass it orange trait into the 748 and I ""think"" still grow a orange pumpkin. ""I think but not positve about this.""
