If you're growing a 1458 seed how's the plant and how are the offspring? I'm considering growing one next year and would like to learn how others are doing with it.
Thanks

I think a deer ate mine. One day it was just gone. Completely vanished. Fence wasn't high enough. None of the other plants were touched though.

A grower in my area lost hers to a split. She said the gene line that caused the 582 Hester to split cont. on through the 1458. I have both seeds, and am not sure what to do with them, trade or grow.

My 1458 was demolished by frost this year and I have one more to try possibly.

Burrhead,
What is your reason for trying it next year. Is there something you know that we don't?
Just asking...

I herd bruce grew a nice thousand pounder off the 1458. It was crossed with a 1097.5 Beachy. Definitly gona try to get a hold of one. Hopefully it won't split like the 1097 does. If any body want some off my seeds just send me a email.
