Tough day in the patch. Mosaic Virus hit us hard and we've now removed 6 of our 12 plants. A couple were expected but 3 others had promise but the pollinated fruit wasn't mature enough to withstand the disease. This blows. No way around it.
Plants lost include the 1213.5 Rae, the 705 DeBacco, the 703.5 Schweigert, the 1738 Barron and one of two 1037 Gantner Bird plants.
We have nice kins on 5 of the 6 remaining plants. The 668.9 Kruger is leading the patch so far and looks to be going orange. The 743 Grande is right behind in it and did 14 lbs/ day over the last two days and is only 14 DAP. Nice Orange ones on the 559 Fraley and the 823 Rahe also. Too soon to tell if the 777 Young was pollinated in time; so far the kin is weirdly shaped and not doing much. Maybe the next one down the line will go. its about the size of a softball and the Orange is already seeping in around the stem. So awesome!
