RL Gary O'Sena?

ddsack · April 19, 2008

I got seeds from SandHill this spring, and of 4 seeds sowed, 3 germinated. Of those, two are RL and one is PL. I know Gary is supposed to be PL, so will grow that one for sure.

Just curious how stable GO is supposed to be. Whether it is likely that the two RL's are throwbacks to the Cherokee Purple heritage, or whether SandHill's GO's may have crossed with some new RL. Right now, I don't really have the room to grow out too many unknowns, so if it's most likely that the RL's are close to being like Cherokee Purples, I wouldn't feel to bad about not growing them out. Opinions?
