E. Texas--Sungrazer 777?

[greybeard]

Anyone had any experience with Sungrazer777?
Can it be sprigged or seed sown only?
Drought hardy for this area?

(My brother has about 10 acres he wants to try it on right next to me)

I haven't planted Sungrazer 777, but it is a blend of KF 194, Jackpot and CD 90160. The CD 90160 outyielded other seeded varieties in the test plots at the TAMU Overton Research Center. Here is the link to the data:

Planted some about 3 years ago as a trial plot on the sorriest, sandiest, land we had, tortured it with grazing -- survived drought 2010 2011 and 2012. I would recommend it.
