I don't know much about this, but the 193 white is about 4 feet long now and I have not seen any obvious, stalling, stress or injury. Don't see any node rooting yet.

I liked the 193. As I said, it was very aggressive, and I hope that is really a trait, and not just how it behaved that year.

I had 3 of my 193 germinate over night. It took an extra day, but I am glad it popped for me.

Here's the list so far. Most are out of the ground by now, but just barely.
3 x 193 White (out of 5) 3 x 149.5 White (out of 5) 2 x 291 Kent (out of 2) 1 x 264 Kent (out of 2) 2 x 35 Kent (out of 3) 0 x 260 Kent (out of 2) Not sure why this one didn't pop
That's enough plants for myself and for Carol. I shouldn't give her such good genetics since she kicked my butt last year, but what can I say.
