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.
