Selected by Kris Bachtell of the Morton Arboretum from a public landscape in Lisle, Illinois. Characteristics of this female clone include a dense, compact, broad-oval habit and attractive gray-green foliage. Quantity and size of fruit are typical of the species. Known to be at least 15 years old, this selection measures 5' in height with a 7' spread. Zones 4-7.
This selection was discovered by Tim Boland, former curator of horticulture at the Morton Arboretum, for having the same superior habit and deep green foliage that Silver Sprite™ displays. This selection has a deep eggplant-purple color during the winter and is an excellent selection to use as a pollinator for Silver Sprite™ to get good fruit production. Zones 4-7. |
