I'm a hobbiest, not a grower, but I do intend to sell most of these as they grow (see attached). I don't have anywhere near the room required to grow 65 C. dowiana to maturity. If you are sure you want a seedling as small as these, we can discuss it if you message me. I may take a day or so to respond because I don't always log into the forum more than once per day.
One of the interesting things Harry said to about this cross in email is this "
Until recent years, we protected most of our identified 4N plants and only used them for breeding to make many superior 3N crosses. It cost us many many years and lots of R&D costs. We are now getting on in years and no longer feel the need to protect these plants as breeding parents. Consequently, we have been producing and releasing a number of 4N crosses ... such as the 4N selfing you purchased".
