| This was just released this spring if im reading this right.
New triploids have been identified. Also included is a list of similar and identical genetics. Fingerprinting the National Apple & Pear Collections One of my varieties was plopped on the triploid list, Orleans Reinette. I hope Kidd's Orange Red, Jonamac and a Crab apple will be enough to pollinate it.
Silver lining for me: the Orleans Reinette is the latest blooming variety I have, so its pollen wont be relied upon for fertility of other later trees. Odd thing was, in my readings of the variety I saw it was "Partially self-fertile", which to me would completely contradict the Triploid characteristic. But... genetics is genetics. Better get my Q-Tip ready if things dont work out. -Eric
