Description:
Wildland seed (generation G0) was collected from 27 locations representing 7 different ecological zones at the U.S. Army Yakima Training Center (YTC) in Yakima, Washington. Approximately 2000 seedlings from the wildland-collected G0 seed, equally representing all collection sites, were started in the greenhouse and transplanted to a field near Logan, Utah. Seed was harvested from these plants and composited together to form the G1 generation.
