I am breaking in a new patch this year and will be growing 4 plants (all orange). 1 plant will be started early for the Puyallup fair weighoff on Labor Day weekend. That one will likely need to be self pollinated. I will also be doing a 150 SF plant.

My lineup is....
2350 Geinger (1501 VanderWielen x self)
1872 Sipple (1501 VanderWielen x self)
1263.5 Montsma (1872 Sipple x self)
1025 Bierle (1810 Werner x self)

right now I am thinking I will do the following for crosses
1263.5 Monstma x self (early plant)
2350 Geinger x 1872 Sipple
1872 Sipple x 1025 Bierle
1025 Bierle x 2350 Geinger (150 SF plant)

What would you all do?

Not to derail things, but did anyone get a 1263 offspring to scale? Mine was a bit of an odd plant, made some small beautiful fruit that underperformed out in the orange patch.

2350 x 1025 would be interesting.
