Thanks for the info, Derry; I'll have to see if I can get some into on
the genetic complement of Magness.

I have still to hear, however, from anyone on this list who has grown
both Warren and Magness and could give some comparative
data/observations. -- Sam

Sam,

It is my understanding that Magness has some funny ploidy - tetraploid
or something and is hard to pollenize. I was told that Moonglow is a
pollenizer for Magness.
