Do any of these look like HVX? I would appreciate any help with these.

"Blue Edger" is infected with HVX. The full name is probably 'Pacific Blue Edger' and I think it is one that has some infected batches on the market. The others don't appear to be infected. Big Daddy is slow - hopefully it will grow out of its stunted condition next year.

I just received test results from Dr. Lockhart. Blue Edger tested positive for Hvx. I did not have the other two tested. Good call, Chris!
