Does anyone have any experience with whether this is true for ALL males,
even seedlings, or just the few commercially available males?
I'm curious whether this trait might be used to ID males and females in a
seedling population. I have 2 that i grew from seed. Both are very vigorous.
Neither have fruited yet.
I also have 2 different males. I think 74-39 and Meader. One is doing much
better than the other. I can't remember which right now.
