1040 has grown 500, 600, 700 and 800. (goes 0-8% heavy)
1234 had grown 500, 500, 600, 700. (goes 3-19% heavy)
But the 1234 has grown more than 1399 lbs on a single plant. I had one going last year in the 1100-1200 benchmark area but it blew. I had underwatered it, I think.
The 549 has grown 1013 (5% heavy).

This is a real good question. The 549 has the largest offspring at 1013. I also believe there is little or no 900 Lyons in the background.
Both the 1040 and the 1234 have potential but need to be grown. The 1040 was darker green. The 549 would make an excellent cross into either of the other two
