I understand they use very similar lines distinct by very few genes, mostly for disease tolerance. What I don't know is were to draw the line between an OP with some variability and a hybrid with virtually no diversity.

Excellent response Ilex,just excellent.
And I'll let you know how Kumato's twin,Negro de Olmeda, performs for the person growing it out for seed production this summer.
Actually I'll try to let you know about the others as well, but not much feedback yet on germination, before even looking for performance of the plants themselves.
