If I plant blocks of two different varieties about 30ft. apart 'across the
wind' what are the chances of cross pollination and possible outcomes?
Even in the west, there is only a slight predominance of westerly
winds - in the east, all directions are equally likely. How far
far the pollen will blow will depend on the wind strength, but I
don't have a clue whether 30' is a long way or not.
At worst, you will lose some of the 'extra sweet' property - as I
go to trouble to avoid any of that, I can't help much :-)
