I guess my question is do hybridizers take the average for the season, or just the first scapes? Just seems to me the average would have to include all the scapes, but then again, maybe that is why so many people say they never average getting the bud count the hybridizers show.
Of course in reverse, if the hybridizer counts all the buds on all the scapes, and you only count the first best ones, you should get a higher number than the hybridizer.
So should we count the first scapes only, or all the scapes ?
