Reading the thread about CA & Australian summers & the almost invincible nature of the 845 has me wondering. What is the liklihood that all selfs of the 845 will exhibit the same desireable growing traits? Is it possible that the slef will follow their parent. Or could they take on traits of their own & perform differently? And if so, what percent are likley to follow? Any ideas?

Hey Rick,

Now I see what you're up to. That's a great idea. If those sibs & selfs stay true, you'll really have some production.

Could you use any Turcam (Bendiocarb-n-methyl carbamate)?
It's new in the original containers. Not registered in New York, where it sits in a golf superintendants chem-shed. He wants it to go away. The legal options are expensive. Quite a bit there I think.

Let me know,
Steve
