how about a 1367.5 X 1370? anyone done that one yet?
since predicting the outcome of the AG's genetics is a craps shoot anyway, i myself would
combine the fruits from the farthest reaches of the galaxy as my main mode of cross selection. sometimes they are right next to each other in the patch.
THAT IS NOT TO SAY THAT the 1370 and 1367.5 are not similar!
anyway, i would cross them.
MAKE A CROSS CHART...put your seeds across the top of it, and up the side of it and wherever the seed-lines intersect, if a cross has already been made,
put a green check mark and just make the next cross over that has never been done before.
there will be far more combinations available than any of us could just make-up by looking at the list, there.
even if you just pollinated every plant up there with the 815 Checkon, which would NOT be a BAD idea, lol, you would have made about 14 new crosses, most of which have never been made by anyone else. this is what makes it fun. eric

Agreed Ron but I would go 1370 x 603, probably resulting in a larger initial fruit which would encourage people to plant in 07.

Plus 1101 x 1370. Big and orange. Although sealing in the orangeness of 603 x 846 is appealing, too.

1097 x 1370 for sure
712 x 1367
1370 x self
and 1101 x 1370
You could then cross the 1101 x 1370 with the selfed 1370 next year to stabilize the cross.

1097 beachy &/or 1367 rose x 815 checkon

reason:
1097 & 1367 should have similar genes as 723 Bobier
1242 Checkon 03=(723x815)produced 1233 Checkon 04
986 Checkon 02=(723x815)produced 1162 Checkon 03

1354 Checkon 04=(723x986)produced WR 1469 Checkon 05
