Narrative
These seeds are from open-pollination of two tetraploid V. arboreum plants in my home garden. There were 5 different tetraploid V. arboreum clones flowering in this garden, which was more or less isolated from other V. arboreum plants. When I have grown O.P. seed from these clones in this garden in previous years, most of the seedlings have been tetraploid but there have been some diploid seedlings mixed in, most likely because some branches of the mother plants were diploid. I have been eliminating these branches as soon as I recognize them and the garden is becoming increasingly pure tetraploid. Some of the seedlings have been dwarfs, maybe from self pollination. An easy way to separate any diploid seedlings from the tetraploid seedlings would be to make stomate prints from the leaves. The seedlings grown from the seeds in these packets should not be chimeral and whatever is the ploidy of the epidermis should be true of all layers and parts of the plant. Packet 2: 07-544 Open Pollinated. The mother (FL07-544) was grown from colchicine-treated seed and was selected for large pollen. The seed that gave rise to 07-544 came from north Florida. 07-544 is highly vigorous, produces thousands of berries, and is one of the most fertile of my colchiploid V. arboreum plants. The berries are unusually large, averaging over 600 mg per berry. Paul Lyrene notes 11/27/2012
