Sword Suckers vs. Water Suckers
I understand that Sword Suckers are preferred to Water Suckers. Supposedly, Water Suckers will not fruit?
Does anybody have any more info on this? Also, will Water Suckers pup? [/IMG]

I have seen some water suckers thrive and do fine, but most just lack vigor and eventually fade out. Here is a live comparison.
