Did you guys realize that Leonardo's 991 is the same cross as the 998 Pukos...and it threw a pretty big fruit this year. Maybe it has the same magic in it? Mark

Yes. Fellow grower Russ (Patchmaster) Pingrey grew a 1,214.5 pounder off of it. I saw the plant during the growing season and it was huge...not to mention the fruit.

Yes, there are many posts on here about what seeds are the same crosses as the 1231 and 998.

correction needed, the 991.5 was grown off Leonardo's 1032 '05 (1446X1420=same cross as the 1231)

the pollinator of the 991.5 was the 1195.5 Glasier '05(1144 Hestor'04 X 1109 LaRue'04)

just trying to keep things straight guys ;-)

Dan, not sure about your correction:-) I have a "991 Urena 05 uow" envelope from Leonardo that says it is a 1420.5 LaRue x 1446 Eaton, same as the 998.6. I believe Leonardo's 961.5 from 2006 was the 1032 x 1195.5 cross you mention.

ahh,,my mistake if that's the case Joe

sometimes "keeping things straight" isn't always the right choice,,,lol

but the 961.5 cross is correct :-)

I have seeds from a 991 Urena X 947 Hunt(1446X1420)'06 and also the reverse cross from '06 if anyone is interested.

991 Urena was by far the best plant I have grown. It also grew the second place fruit at the Elk Grove weigh-off, 1338 by Juan Yanez. I think it will see a much greater planting next year.
