Narrative
This accession represents genetics sampled from three areas originally collected as Ames 33737, Ames 36065, and Ames 36066. These three diploid clonal accessions were combined in order to execute a successful seed increase requiring cross pollination by other diploid genotypes. Phenotypes range from ground cover types to open spreading shrub types. Two of these clonal collections (Ames 33737: UC 012 and Ames 36065: UC 017) were parents in the development of 'UCONNAM165' Low Scape Mound® Chokeberry (US Plant Patent 28789).
