I haven't seen LTS, sounds good!

We don't grow that one - though I'm going to suggest it - but PBR won't
apply to you growing a few for your own garden.

Immediate correction! Having said we don't grow it, Raymond had a
re-think and said "of course we do!" And yes, it should come true from
seed, if it hasn't 'bred' with any of your others. We get ours as seed
from Jelitto. Presumably it's named after Lake Taupo in NZ.

Would Plant Breders Rights apply to plants raised from seed obtained
from the plants?
No garantee that they would be 100% true to type.

I can't check Jelitto's catalogue at present because it's offline for
rebuilding the 2012 selection. Ray *thinks* - but isn't 100% certain -
that there is no PBR on seeds. If it's only applied to plants that are
vegetatively propagated then this means anyone could raise e.g. L.
Taupo Sunset and sell its seeds if not its plants. I suppose! He says
he'll find the 2011 catalogue tomorrow and see what it says about PBR
but he doesn't recall any.
