* Rhyzomatious tetraploids. Probably not too difficult to produce using triploid fulva to pollinate tetraploids. Implausibility and its kids can be used too. | * Rhyzomatious tetraploids.

| − | * Dark scapes. These lines are serendipitously rust resistant. With the evergreen Sir Blackstem (which carries melon), I should be able to use my dormant introductions. | + | * Dark scapes.

However, Matt Kaskell's seed strains from the Florida Coast might have that problem licked. They will be tested. Also, seedling growth should be rapid in Tena, so I might encounter some seedlings that bloom there. | ||
