Narrative
Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Morella cerifera 'Soleil'. From cuttings of NA 78779-H; propagation date uncertain, but a number of years prior to accessioning (I remember seeing the cuttings in the greenhouse, but they were never documented--maybe from 2010-2013?); plants now growing in front of the Grove of State Trees restroom are fairly large, in two masses. Although the original source of the parent accession is technically not known, the cultivar had been recently patented and introduced (ca 2006), so it likely came from a source very close to the originator, Pat McCracken/McCracken's Nursery.
