Good Qualities
Great flower color (3); Short crop time (3); Very uniform flowering time (2); Nice strong rays, strong stem and neck; Very large flower, sold for $2.00 stem; Customers returned week after week for more ‘Procuts’; Favorite new sunflower; Very exciting new crop; Best sunflower I’ve grown in a few years!; Nice color, nice height, not too tall; 2 weeks earlier than ‘Sunrich Orange’; Size flower head good; Nice flower size; Big, even consistent headed flower with a very crisp look, held heads up in spite of size, no doubt smaller stems would hurt this attribute, but if heads were smaller as well….
Problems
Stems too thick (2); Poor germination, bit raggety; The stems are too large (fat around) to use in mixed bouquets; I went on to purchase this seed and use it throughout the season, stems got progressively shorter and smaller, my cut this week of 10/10 is only 3 feet tall but customers are still buying it, we needed to put additional stems in the bunch though; Opens fast and turns sideways; Weak stems, floppy flower heads; Stalks were soft and got a brown rot; many plants fell over, would only grow in the field in the future; Stems too short; Slight problem with powder mildew.
Postharvest
Editor’s note: see separate postharvest article in this issue for more information.

Comments
Similar to ‘Sunbright Supreme’ (2) or ‘Sunrich Orange’; Not a very bright orange; ‘Procut Bi-color’ flowered 1st, then ‘Procut Orange’ and then ‘Procut Lemon’; planted several plantings thru season; Good single stem; Quick producer, though I didn’t record dates, will try much closer spacing to bring stem size down; Will plant again.
