Mark grew one to 1153 on his 769! My 12 yr old daughter grew her's to 535, pollinated by the 1290 Poirier. It throws truly great color!

769 Lombardi. The 1273 Howard always goes orange and heavy.
The 646 Rahe has never been grown but it is full of 801 Stelts crosses. The 71 Rahe grows Cinderella shaped orange fruit to about 100lbs with little care.
For brute size 225 Wolf and 950 Horton look good.
The 1017 Rondeau and 1087 Marsh might make an intersting cross as well.

The 71 Rahe is not likely to grow one over 200 lbs.
It was meant as a step forward for Cinderella.
Nice thing is it has a shorter growing season.
JA as far as I know no one has tried the 646 Rahe. Might be a really good one. I was going to grow it but I was overtaken with a bad case of 1068 Wallace fever LOL.
The 646 Rahe has plenty of potential for big and orange.
Father's side is 4 parts 801 Stelts
Mothers side is
1 part 869.5 Calai
1 part 995 Carter (846 Calai cross)
1 part 1140 Stelts (705 Stelts cross)
1 part 850 Wallace (801 stelts cross)
Not 1 drop of 935 Lloyd or 898 Knauss in it
If you want email me for a heirarchy tree
