However, to maintain an intermediate level of adaptation to both extreme growing conditions requires continual selection, and that did not occur.
So I just looked at one of my crosses. Those seedlings look like they are on steroids (100+ of that one) and I hope because they are a "dormant X SEV" cross, that they will survive and be influenced by the genes on the SEV side. I will let the survivors, if any are worthy, mature for 3 years before I breed with them.
If these were EV to EV which I will do exclusively next year, I would be less concerned.
Everything I am crossing is resistant to rust. Hopefully, these traits carry forward.
Thanks for your comments. They are always so helpful! Bob
PS. The only SEV I will test next season to see how it performs is the following. Maybe I will test it where it gets winter shade. Then if I ever get fans, move one fan to the regular hot spot:
