I sort of recall Camo saying the PLs work better for him, too, and he lives not too far away from here, so maybe it has to do with which diseases are most predominant in the mid Atlantic and northeast?
I was talking fungal foliage diseases and they and the two bacterial foliage diseases are the most common diseases in the world, let alone our USA and I wouldn't expect to see a difference in the prevalence of those foliage diseases between the mid-Atlantic, the PNW and the SE and along the Gulf Coast.

The arid SW and CA usually see lesser problems with the foliage diseases.
