What would be a great cross for this seed? Parents are 996 Bobier and 1088.6 W. Kennedy.Grandparents 845 Bobier,846 Calai,+ 723 Bobier,712 Kuhn.Should I self or find something else to cross it with and if so what would be a great cross? I am planning on growing 3 of them.

I do have a 940 Mombert that might work well

I don't know much, but how about the 1370 Rose(1260 Weir X 712 Kuhn) as one of the crosses? You would be putting back The 845, the 846, and the 712. It may add to wall thickness as well(from 1260 Weir), in the next generation.
Just a thought.

Any other suggestions for Mr. Scnicker?
I'm sure there are many possibilities, but I just like to see the reasoning behind it.
I may grow the 996 Bobier next year, based on the success of seedy one(is it Marty?) this year.
