Our reading written by Cowpea Seeds
California Blackeye #5 is printed four different ways across our sources: California Blackeye # 5, California Black Eye #5, California Blackeye #5 and California #5. We group them on this page because the names match apart from spacing and the word Blackeye; that grouping is ours.
The disease notes: Oklahoma lists fusarium wilt and nematodes, Georgia's table Fusarium and nematodes, and Arkansas's disease resistance or tolerance column resistance to fusarium wilt. Habit is where the rows split: Oklahoma says vining, Arkansas an erect plant type and Georgia nonvining. Arkansas prints 75 days to maturity.
