[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4931"] I remember a question you did ask me of what kind of problems I had with Gerts (it was posted in 11/Dec) And I told you hybrid vigor, maybe it is because Santa Gertrudis is a 3 breed composite so the Santa Cruz will have the same problem (hybrid vigor)in the future. > Supposedly you will loose > heterosis within severl > generations with composites, at > which time it's just like straight > breeding again.
