Narrative

Although these were open-pollinated seed, they were planted because there are currently no 'Fardh' females in the Repository collection. Only 1 of 25 seedlings survived. Since this is an OPS, it needs to be observed to see if it is consistent with 'Fardh' or has desirable attributes. (RR Krueger, 08/2008)

This was one of a number of accessions surveyed using SSR microsatellite markers (18 nuclear and 1 chloroplast) by Frederique Aberlenc and Jean-Christophe Pintaud. In an email received 2012-08-09, J-C Pintaud stated: "We don't have this variety in our dataset". Therefore, morphological observations, esepecially fruit characteristics, will have to suffice in figuring out whether it is worth keeping or not. (RR Krueger, 2013-05-20)
