Narrative

It originated as from a bitter almond seedling planted and selected by A. T. Hatch in California in 1879. The nut quality is better than Ne Plus Ultra and it has higher yields than IXL and so is competitive with Nonpareil for both productivity and quality. It also has better resistances to several diseases but suffers from sticktights making it more difficult to harvest.
