Got a nice one going on the 575 Wolf. Crossed it with the 359 Foss. Will be my first orange one if it makes it

We have a 359 Foss that we selfed. It is doing good so far, but a lot can go wrong in 2 months. I also have one of my 862 McWilliams that was planted late and pollinated with the 359. It probably won't make much size, but the seeds should have great orange potential.

Lots of 359s this year... Good crosses for next year.

The 1124 looks to be orange for sure, Glenn

I have the nice orange coming from the 1778 Daletas, in my 1463 this year. It has the shape of the 2009 that I grew it from as well. It's my best grower so far and ahead of previous years. Usually my biggest ones are never orange.


Hoping it to continue through to the end and also get that 1778 heavy %.

My 705 debacco is nice shape and orange color but my plant strugled with the june rain and stunted the plant to about 150 sq ft.its now around 200lbs but it wont get much bigger.

My 559 fraley is a nice orange and at 423 lbs now but slowed down to 15 lbs a day. Hope it turns a redish color like the parent.

My own 500.5 seed is producing incredible orange for me this year, as it did last year. I also have a 575 Wolf in the patch but it's quite pale in color... I hope it starts to show some color soon.

Luke you should have left your 359 foss in the ground to see what would have happend ? Your plant looked better than mine when you pulled it and even with the water damage i had i still have one over 400 lbs. On only a 200 sq ft. Plant.

359 Foss...crossed in the ORANGE GENE into it that came from the 1450 Wallace...That gene was what made the 1610 what it is today... That 1450 crossed with the WR 1810 StevenZ...(Splitting image of the 1662 SteltZ) went heavy the last two yearZ and produced a 10% Heavy Howard Dill Winner... So I crossed it into the 359..(1048 Engle X 2009 Wallace..) So now 2 WR's into one fruit....of HEAVY Big Orange....

1738 Barron is at the end of my Grower Diary. Not growing at the rate I'd like, but like its mama, it's going to be deep orange.
