488 Beachy X 1432 Carlson
490 Beachy X 1097.5 Beachy
490 Beachy X 1432 Carlson
490 Beachy X 1005 Mombert
1097.5 Beachy X 490 Beachy
1097.5 Beachy X 1432 Carlson
1097.5 Beachy X 1005 Mombert
1005 Mombert X 1038 Emmons
1005 Mombert X 1432 Carlson
1005 Mombert X 490 Beachy
1005 Mombert X 488 Beachy
1005 Mombert X 1097.5 Beachy
1038 Emmons X 1005 Mombert
1038 Emmons X 1432 Carlson
1432 Carlson X 490 Beachy
1432 Carlson X Self
1432 Carlson X 488 Beachy

828 Wycoff X Self
681 Stellpflug X Self
488 Beachy X Sibb
353 Glisczinski X 142 Hodge
163 Hodge X 490 Beachy
142 Hodge X 353 Glisczinski
80 Hodge X 5 Hodge
5 Hodge X 80 Hodge

There are so many crosses to make it will be very hard to pick the ones to do! I hope you guys can help!

Thanks,

Mikkal make a camp near your patch, from mid jun to end of jul. You spend enough bud in the evening and we would help you at morning by pollinating all thus killer crosses. lol

I've been thinking about doing a 1097 x 490 instead of the reverse because of the split risk with the 1097. That's a lot of 723 you have there... maybe just pollinate everything with the plant which exhibits the best traits.
