The cross is 842 Eaton x 1301 Eaton. I'm wondering what the pollinator grew. Thanks for any info.

I don't know exactly, but 3 or 4 over 1000. Hope that helps.

Thanks, Dave. I'm interested primarily in the 1301 plant that pollinated the 1101. I haven't found any information about it. I think it might be a good seed, same cross as the 1446. The 1446 is a pretty well refined version of the 846/723 cross and grew 4 over 1000 lbs its first year, including 2 over 1200. The 1101 also went 17% heavy.

I assume you want to know what the ACTUAL plant that pollinated the 842 plant grew? Nothing listed in AGGC.

I might remember that when I was on the NEPGA patch tour, Woody had a couple split. The 1301 might have been one of them. I really can't remember. AleX Noel.

The 1301 was grown by Armand Michaud a fellow grower that I grew with last year (we shared a patch I'm building a house and could not access mine). The pollen for Woody's 842 (1101 Lancaster) was brought from our patch to his house specifically to bring the 1301 into the 842. Armands 1301 was weighed at the SNGPGA weigh off in RI and went 930 or 80 something can't remember off the top of my head, I was unable to go to the weigh off. There were no problems with the 1301 plant and it also tossed out females every 24 inches or so it was unbelievable. Last I checked it was in the AGGC and I think on BP in some SNGPGA pictures from their weigh off.
