Narrative
Collected by Nerd and Felker from Saltillo, Torreon, Chihuanhua and Casas Grandes in October 1993, when looking for cold hardy fruit clones. In Casas Grandes, Mexico; take turn coming from north to Buenaventura and go several blocks. An O. ficus-indica looking plant, very large, much higher than twice the height of Nerd, spineless and produced large red fruits. Owner's son (who spoke excellent English) said that at -16 C the fruits fell off and implied minimal damage to plant.
