Hi Andreas & List,

Do you know how hybrids between the two extremes do in varied
temperatures? I have a couple lowland only hybrids, they grow
larger and faster yet still show and need for heat. The highland
crosses involving N.maxima do not care while other hybrids like
N. 'Dwarf Peacock' show stress if kept in lowland conditions for
long. But I have no crosses between high and low...
