and to think of all the material that would not be here today if it hadn't been for Tad (Old German x Tigerella) along with the help of Brandywine

D, I don't remember Tad as being that cross, is that posted somewhere b'c my brain doesn't remember that and actually it was Tad Smith who made a three way cross and sent me the seeds, told me I had a 1/64 chance of getting what he wanted but got it in the first 12 plants I put out. I lost all of his chromosome maps when I moved here in 1999.
Keith is calling the cross Sunlucky and last I knew it was still a work in progress. A plant was given to someone I know well, but I never got any feedback from it. I mean the person, not the plant.
What keith was trying to do was to keep the distinctive scent of the foliage, which I've never experienced, as well as the taste in his selection process. I haven't heard anything about it in a year or so.
