Want to try one?
If anyone wants to help try to find the Ideal micro or just grow some unstable micros with potential this winter let me know. I have quite a few F4 varieties that show potential, and in a couple of weeks I’ll have some F5 seed. I don’t have anything ideal and stable yet, but several are very interesting.
So far, the potato-leaf have been the most difficult type to get to cooperate. And the fine-leaf are the most intriguing. Red is certainly the easiest color to come up with (given the parents I started with), but I also have some red with stripes, red with antho, yellow and orange. Some are multiflora, most are not. Some stay under 12” while others approach 18+” and I cull them. It will take another few generations before they’re stable and I can assure anyone what they’ll get.
Anyway, PM me if you would like to grow a micro in a pot this winter and we’ll figure out if I have any you’d be interested in. All I ask is that you report back and send me some seed if you find something ideal.
