Comment: The original plant was growing in very sandy soil on an upland site in an overgrown old field with scattered mature loblolly pines in the Sandhills of Lexington Co., SC. It is the male parent of the cultivar 'Pender' and a grandparent of 'Beaufort', 'Lenoir' and 'Pamlico'. On my next trip to central South Carolina I will get the latitude and longitude of the collection site.
