Speaking for myself, my comments in this discussion have nothing to do with being a naysayer. Clearly there are those that do not understand, or simly don't care about the potential long term ramifications of intraspecific hybrids in this hobby. Which is fine by me, just don't attempt to tell me that a blue umbee, is a blue umbee, is a blue umbee, unless you have something more than a personal opinion to back those kind of claims up. Even the King himself has stated that his location Z has a different physical profile (more torpedo shaped) compared to a Rio Mag umbee. What else is or isn't different between the various geographical locations??? -----> at this point nobody knows.
Doesn't sound to me like you are on the fence at all, Madness. It appears that when it suits your personal inclination you are pro intraspecific hybrids.
It's a slippery slope ........
other than body structure, freckling, and possibly point in which they color up I haven't really noticed anything different. In all realty Umbee's aren't described by location but simply caquetaia umbrifera so a blue umbee is a blue umbee despite collection point
