Deans's was either off the 1367 Rose, or my 814. I believe he took the 1367 fruit.

Holy cow! Bill has himself a dynasty! Pretty much the same can be said for those of us in "the metro area" that cannot participate in the fair.

Hi Folks - The 990.0 is a 1367rose X 946.5 geertz. I wasnt able to get anything on the 946 plant. The plant kept trying to grow too fast and kept splitting everything i set so i pulled it aug 3rd. The 990 went light. it was taping 1100. Andy W. was right!! it was a toss up between the 814wolf and the 1367 rose and i decided to bring the smaller one. hehe. Hope to see many of you in Austin.

I'm with Mike on this one, I'm sure you'd see some early fruit from WI if you opened it up for cheesehead neighbors. ;-)
