Curious as to what the seeds folks see producing so many PB's and new records in the region. Every area is different, but I have found that I need heat tolerant plants (hit 108 this summer), but also one that doesn't require so much water to prevent flagging and also keep growing when hot. Humidity can be brutal, add that with over watering due to combined heat index, and you have a perfect recipe for disease in the soil.

I've had years with plants side by side and one will be perked up and enjoying a 103 degree day with high humidity, and the other 20 feet away will look like it's on a death bed.

Thanks

1,662 Debacco has performed well here in the heat! Also the 2,145.5 McMullen. 1,489 Van Hook has produced 3 good ones here too!

John, myself and another grower by me are looking into successful lineages grown in the southeast. Thanks for the reply, I'll be sending you an email soon. Luke

Mr. Luke, I am very surprised that yourself & my clients (The VanHook brothers) have not made contact earlier!! These brothers seem to be the beast's of the southeast!! Let me tell you a lil story!!! Peace, Wayne
