This is the reply I received today from Dr. John Clark of the
University of Arkansas when I asked him about Ka-bluey: “Ka bluey is a Univ of Ark selection licensed exclusively
to Gardens Alive! which is the owner of the mail order catalogs you mention. “This selection was not released or tested as an advanced
selection due to having darker fruit than I thought commercially acceptable and
size was medium to med small later in the season. The flavor is very good in
my opinion but would not do to encourage commercial use. Ed thought it a good
candidate for mail order and this allows it to be used for home gardens but not
by error be planted” From:
nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org [mailto:nafex-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On
Behalf Of Ed Fackler The breeder kept it due to its
complex flavor. Ka-Bluey had some (unknown to me...likely stem scar)
characteristic which made it commercially unacceptable. On Wed, Aug 25, 2010 at 10:18 AM, Melissa Kacalanos <mijwiz@yahoo.com> wrote:
