Don't mean to be hogging this forum but love to talk and think big orange.
What currently is your top orange cross you plan on growing in 2016?
Mine -- 823 House 15 (811 Gerhardt x 359 Foss) crossed with the 1912 Carter (1750.5 Martin x self). Hope to get really big and really orange with this.
Could change though with lots of great orange seeds coming in from auctions and exchanges.

call me crazy, but i plan on a 1059 v/m x 2230 wallace cross , if i get lucky enough to get that cross done, it would sure be interesting to see offspring from it.
the 1059 v/m will be my daughter marina's plant and the 2230 wallace will be my son tj's plant

I plan on pollinating the 1444 Halverson with my 1047.5. I plan to self the 1047.5, which is a selfed 359 Foss. I have a couple other good orange ones that might see dirt too.

I plan on growing my 699 Rahe 15 (823 Rahe x 1374 Engel)The cross has the 1770 Lieber and 2009 Wallace in it as well as a pile of older orange genetics. As far as a cross nothing is really catching my eye right now.

I'm planning on growing my 603.5 Muller 03 X self from last year, and crossing the 1734.5 Clementz 15 into it. The first is two generations selfed(no 898 Knauss in background), the second is once selfed(with 898 Knauss in the background). Both had nice orange color. I'm hoping this cross will produce big orange progeny, with some hybrid vigor.

An overlooked seed but it will definitely be orange.

The 504 house x the 434 Gerhardt. I will also use these to pollinate a 2109 LL and a 1998 jutras and hope to get lucky.

811s and 1744s will probably be my backups.

Berlin, Germany

I want to grow my own 754 MC-Krueger14 ( 442 MC-Krueger12 [ = 895 Rueegger x 1290 Poirier] x 1059 VM09 ) and pollinate it with the 775 Bohnert09, 849 Warren14 or 1244 Rea11.

My second orange is a 1750 Martin and I cross it with my own 754er or 442er, to produce my Name-Cross: „MARTIN x KRUEGER“ .... ;-))

Target for both is to get the 1000 pounds first time.
