In previous years, the Red Savinas we grew were definitely hotter than
the orange Habs.  However, in 2002, the orange was waaaaay hotter than
the Red.

Can't say why - maybe a difference in seed.  Same climate, same watering
(or, rather, lack of water, 2002 being the worst drought we've ever had
in Virginia).

GNS seed has always been a bit inconsistent (both Red Savinas and
Franciscas), but this has usually been an inconsistency of shape, not
heat.

Any other ideas out there as to why this occurred?
