Is Bullseye Gone?
Is Bullseye TF not being produced any longer? It was tops in the trials at Rutgers.

They have it at Burlingame and superseedstore online. Probably elsewhere too.

Burlingham Seed is out of Oregon and they list it. I have a neighbor who has bought it from SSS in the past but maybe they are out.

Here is the link to Burlingham Seed.
According to the guys at Hogan, the closest current replacements for Bullseye are GTO, Hotrod, Hemi, and Firebird 2...which are also listed at Burlingham. I'm sorry to see it go, as well. My back lawn is composed of it and Firecracker, plus 3 KBG varieties. It sounded like the producing plants for Bullseye were aging, and the growers weren't getting enough seed off of them anymore.

The "current" Prime Time mix is
33.13% Hot Rod Tall Fescue
33.05% Firebird 2 Tall Fescue
32.90% Turbo RZ Tall Fescue
It used to be 1/3 Bullseye.

Re: Is Bullseye Gone?
What did you say about Seed Superstore earlier? I saw nothing regarding Bullseye on their site.
I asked the guys at Hogan several times over the past year, and each time they confirmed it's not being grown anymore...but a replacement is possible in the future.

As per my post, a neighbor had purchased Bullseye from SSSin the past. I don’t recall exactly when that was but they did carry it in the past. Nothing more or nothing less.Green wrote: ↑August 13th, 2019, 5:29 pmWhat did you say about Seed Superstore earlier? I saw nothing regarding Bullseye on their site.

Re: Is Bullseye Gone?
I wonder why it was being phased out? Not producing enough seed?

Re: Is Bullseye Gone?
Too bad. I wonder what the number is that makes a cultivar viable in terms of seed production?

Re: Is Bullseye Gone?
Enough to make an independent seed grower in Oregon feel that he's making a living. If he felt he could make more growing turnips, then well you know what he's be growing...

Re: Is Bullseye Gone?
I talked with them again today. I mentioned how I had seen the name of a new version of Bullseye in the latest NTEP preliminary results recently, and asked Stephen if he knew anything about it. He said that squares with what he had heard...that it's definitely in trials now, and as long as it makes it through them with good enough ratings, he would expect it to eventually be grown for seed production. It may be a "spreading" variety, also. But who knows how many years away from actual sale it might be.
