Here's what I'm going to attempt to grow this year: 1501 Barlow (2145 McMullen x Self) 1866.2 Cutrupi (2096 Meier x 2102 Meier) 1233 Barenie (962 Barenie x 1789 Wallace) 720 Divelbess (1882 Gehweiler x 1641 Clementz) What do you think a good cross from those genetics would be?

I like crossing your best two plants and selfing the best plant.

By best are you referring to genetic lineage or how vigorous they're growing? So to get it straight you would self the best and use the best's male to cross with 2nd best's female?

Yes and yes. Most vigorous as the best.Planning crosses based on the genetics is a crapshoot because of the variability you can get in any seed even the 1501 barlow.

Also,if you had females to inspect on those "best plants" its a good idea to look for symmetrical lobes,long stems and length on the baby fruit and color youre after to help with your what to breed with what.
