Any seed with a 998Pukos x 1385Jutras cross in it or 1385Jutras x 998Pukos.

How about a 1153 Parks, 1385 x 1502. It brings both 1068 Wallace and 998.6 Pukos genetics into your cross.

Along the same lines as DHertz mentioned there is also the 763 Young 09 (1502 x 1385) and the reverse cross in the 270 est Young 09 (1385 x 1502) - There was a post (either in the growers Diaries or the seed exchange) offering the seeds posted awhile back and they might still have some - can't find the other thread right now but the E-mail was John and Kerry Young [jkpayoung@hotmail.com] in case your interested.

A seed with Richards suggested cross would be the 966 Jutras 1385.5Jutrasx998.6Pukos from 2008.

1502 x self is a nice option if your planned pollinator doesn't work out health wise or have male flowers on that day when needed.
