Cultivation

Origin: as chance seedling (progeny of A-93) selected by J.W. Daniell, B.B. Brantley, and KE. Heaton, Univ. of Georgia, Experiment, Ga. Reported as F2 progeny of A-93, which is supposedly a Schley × Moneymaker cross. However, Woodroof has a c allele for malate dehydrogenase that is not present in any of its putative ancestors. Introd. in 1983. Nut: elliptic, with obtuse, often asymmetric apex and obtuse base; flattened in cross section, with prominent suture; 48 nuts/lb, 45% kernel; kernels wrinkled, with wide, flared dorsal grooves and deep secondary dorsal grooves. Protogynous. Resistant to scab. Tree: Fruit:
