Comments	This plant material came to Foundation Plant Services in the mid-1960's from the United States Department of Agriculture Station in Fresno, California. The original plant material did not undergo treatment and was initially planted in the old FPS foundation vineyard in 1967. Freedom 01 was planted in the FPS Classic Foundation Vineyard in 1984. Freedom 01 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy in 2009. After successful completion of testing under the 2010 Protocol in 2011, the treated material was planted in the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard as Freedom 01.1.
