I was watching mine closely but sadly lost it this past winter. We had the coldest winter in history here in TX add 2 weeks with no power and I lost a few varieties.

I was reading my notes and I was really leaning towards FHIA-18 off type on this one. I know it was being tissue cultured at the time and would fit pretty well. With its pome genetics it would fit in with what Gabe thinks also.

I would love to replace mine and continue comparing it when one of you get an extra pup. Shoot me an email. I would be happy to buy one or trade for it.

Thanks
Ty

Thanks Gabe! Are the narrow leaves a prevalent trait on any other species that you are aware of?

I too would love to get a pup. I can pay for it, or do a trade.

Unusually narrow leaves isn't a typical trait on edible cultivars, but can be a symptom of off-type mutation.
