Sorry to post on your thread but I happen to have a seed I can't find info on at AGGC and your request made me think about it and you or some one else might know.

The seed is the 851 Demers and any info on the seed would be appreciated, please e-mail me.

The 851 Demers is Robert Demers other fruit from 2003 off the 898 Knauss crossed with the 845 Bobier he lost this one to a blossom end split and at the time was his biggest one. Seeds from the 851 are very hard to germinate we tried a few here in N.H and had no luck.

Ernie, the 851 as Matt has confirmed was UOW and light to the charts. Seed packet says 351" which puts it light by about 34 pounds. Certainly is an interesting cross, mixing a heavy producer female with a size producer male. I wonder if anyone has grown it. The 1153 has produced the 1000.0 Rodonis 2004 which was a bit on the green side.
