Does this Francee have HVX?

Hi There,
Anyone want to take a shot and give the diagnosis as to whether this Francee has been infected? I have the immunostrips coming but was eager to get your opinion.

Thanks,
Matt

What you are seeing is streaking and not virus symptoms. If you bought this plant at a non-specialty nursery then I would still recommend testing it as Francee rarely shows actual symptoms but can carry it often.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Test strips says: negative!! What a relief!!

If that streaked Francee blooms and sets pods and you don't want to grow the seeds, I would be happy to grow them. I would love to see if the streaking would pass to the next generation. I have some Francee seedlings and they are very pretty blue.
