Naomi, at some point I looked up some information on the varieties they were 
crossing, including Triumph, and they appeared to be standard old varieties.

It will probably be several years before much is known about these recently 
imported varieties, they were imported as seeds and it will take several 
years to get fruit.  Based on the links that Sam put up they are doing some 
larger plantings of seedlings now.
