For the life of me I can't find the cross for this seed. I stumbled across a bunch here and would love to know the genetics. I'm going with only three plants next year and most, if not all, will be true orange producers. Any help appreciated,
Andy

I couldn't find any thing on it either. If some one knows Diana, they can give you her email.

Andy, this might be what you want. 1290 Poirier x 1016 Daletas

There's an 890 Dill 2010, which is the 1677.5 Hunt x 1725 Harp.

It's definitely 2012 Steve, thanks, what a cross.

Well I was really confused when Darren answered my message to say his 890 was from 2010. In the diary pic the cross said 1290 Poirier x 1016 Daletas. So I e-mailed Diana and here is what she said

"Hi Andy,

Nice to hear from you. Yes, I looked up the genetics on the 890 and it was 1290 Poirier (F) x 1016 Daletas (M). Both were orange. The 1016 was one of dad's favorite seeds as it always produced a nice shaped orange pumpkin.

Have a very Merry Christmas and big n' orange for the new year!
