White Burley's

[Hasse SWE]

Anyone who can answer what is the difference between Y.T.B. and Kelly Burley?

Twist Bud and Yellow Prior appear in about 1875. Red Twist Bud appears around 1907. Yellow Twist Bud appears in 1991 at the same time as Kelley Burley.

I've read Yellow Twist Bud was an ancient variety from about 1880, but this can not be verified (currently).

As of right now...it appears both Kelly Burley and YTB are hybrids from 1991.

Thanks!

Kelley is a faster maturing plant with more leaves than YTB, but yields about 25% less weight per plant. Kelly has fewer suckers and shorter leaves, but the leaf width is about the same as YTB.

Both varieties produce pink flowers.

I think it would be quite interesting to have
Red Twist Bud

I'm not into genetic modification, but I also wonder what a "red twist bud" would result.

I don't understand your comment

...Sorry about that, lack of coffee/lack of sleep = lack of intelligence. I'm not into cross breeding plants, but I would be interested what the end result would be if the "red twist bud"plant was created.

Jeremy...pay attention!

The Red Twist Bud WAS a variety from the early 1900's. I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure it was a Red Burley.

I'm beginning to believe Red Burleys are now called Dark Air types.

Cross breeding and GMOs are two completely different monsters. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any commodity that hasn't been crossed with something somewhere.

My bad, sorry
