| Description |
Inventor: Stephen M. Southwick, Davis, CA
(US)
The original tree of the new Prunus mahaleb cultivar of
the present invention was discovered through detailed evaluation and selection while growing in a cultivated area at the
Experimental Orchards at the University of California
located at Davis, Calif., USA. The exact parentage of the
new cultivar is unknown. The seeds used to form the
planting where the discovery took place came from a
random collection of wild Prunus mahaleb germplasm that
had been collected from around the world. The large number
of seedlings present in the planting were carefully studied
and evaluated and a single plant possessing the combination
of characteristics of the new cultivar of the present invention
was selected and was preserved. Had this plant not been
discovered and preserved, it would have been lost to man
kind.
Forms a tree that is intermediate in size and forms more fine wood when compared to the 'UCMH 56' and 'UCMH 59'. |
