Howdy! I just happen to notice that lots of people are going for these 2 seeds...if you wish this cross them see my post from earlier this year(below). I grew both of them and they both hit the 30lbs+ a day...but both split on me...I was able to get seeds from the 1290. Here are the pictures of the fruits and you can see the dill ring split(1290) and huge blossem end split(772):

Plus I did cross the 843 Heyne(same cross as 998.6 Pukos) with the 1290 Poirier. So maybe big and red/orange??
Plus the 826.5 Heyne below is the same cross as the 1231 Pukos also crossed with an orange. Another big and orange?

The 869 Bhaskaran 08 looks like a great orange cross.
