I used PDGF in 2005- was a great pollen parent and I have several seedlings from those crosses but despite lots of tries, it never set a pod for me.

Good luck.

OK Pollen is good, so if should state half fertile.

How about PollinaTOR not PollinaTEE? ;-)

Pee Dee Gold Flash is very fertile for me, both ways.
The bright gold color transmits very well, but the lousy substance does too. It tends to give red to the petioles and scapes. The most seedlings I got were from crossing with Korean Snow. Try everything you have, one on each flower.
I have been crossing with it for three years now.
I am now pollinating it only with plants which have very good substance.
Kabitan is in the parentage of it, and is also a fertile pod parent, just not useful for good substance.
I read Ken's post in the other thread before this one, where he asked about the utility of it in a breeding program. I started out going for solid colors and unusual leaf shapes, and just used whatever I had, not wanting to put out big bucks for streakers. Now I have some bright yellow plants with some red in them, better substance, and will use them with other plants to add the colors to interesting leaf shapes or streakers.

Oh yea uah, that is wonderful but you are in Zone (so cool at night ) I will have to bring it in to make crosses, and keep it in until they set. The same is true here for a lot of hostas. I can tell by just looking at the scape seed pods on cooler nights and no pods on warmer nights. I should keep records of temps and scapes.

Sorry to hear your temps are preventing it from working for you there.
I did my first crosses while in the ground, (Cleveland, OH) but since I had to move, it has been in a pot for this and last summer.
I like the idea of documenting the night temps against fertility, I always thought it was the day temps that were a problem.
You'd have to use the same pollen parent every day so the pollen fertility wasn't a factor.
I wish I had more time.
