Tangelo

[thestack510]

Also about tangelos being co-dominant..this is my belief...if it's co-dominant there should be a super form of tangelo...but there is not...there are tangelos that carry more orange but that doesn't prove them to be co-dominant...it just means IMO that they have been line-bred for better tangerine colors. If tangelo was co-dominant than tangelo to normal would make 50% tangelos 50% normal....tangeloXtangelo would make 25% normal 50% tangelo and 25% super tangelo. But that's not how they prove out. Tangelo to tangelo will make 100% tangelo which makes it a combo morph (tangerine tremper albino)...just hope that helps some.

According to RT there are Super Tangelos, there are soma available on his site, but who knows. Marketing is marketing.

Ya! its all fun to read until your the one getting crucified! There are other forums for that kind of blatant disregard for people!

Keep up the good work nick!

Paul, I agree with you in a way but to me, the linebred traits seem to become recessive as they get stronger, not really so much co dominant. Just my thoughts.

You sure he doesn't mean super giant tangelos?

Yeah, I'm sure... It says "Super Tangelo," no Giant genes implied.

Sorry, but whether tactful or not, sweet or rude... Gregg is correct that you can't have het for tangerine coloring which is line bred.... end of story.

If you make claims that go against what most of us know, you are opening yourself up to rebuttal.

:freak: Well...I read his description about supers having orange covering up the white banding...well, every RT tangelo I have ever seen, shows this trait. I don't know if he's referring to it being a co-dom super as much as he's just giving his nicer tangelos a marketing name. That's what it seems like the me. :greedy:

OK... that's it. There are more respectful, mature, and diplomatic ways of getting your point across without the personall attacks and 'in-your-face' attitudes and comments!

I am temporarily closing this thread until you all (especially Gregg) can calm down enough to have a civil debate on a very intersting subject. I think I'm going to have to give a out a 'time-out' or two to you children.
