Narrative
Variety O2.3 derived from three generations of selfing from a large leaf sweet basil (Genovese type). Nestle scientists made selections from an open pollinated population for oil content and line advancement in France in 1993. After three years of successive selfing, O2.3 breeds true to the large leaf sweet basil type. Leaves smaller (width and length) than California Large Leaf and produces a greater number of leaves on the main stem before flowering with a higher degree of branching off the main stem. O2.3 produces more essential oil per plant than California Large Leaf; O2.3 produces significantly greater amounts of Euganol than O4.2 which produces more Linalol and Cineol. Plant height 36 inches with glossy green leaves; white corolla, pistil, anther.
