Cultivation

Origin: in College Station, Texas, by H.H. Bowen and E.T. Graham, Texas A&M Univ. Introd. in 1977. F2 progeny of Brainerd × Brazos, backcrossed to Brazos in 1966. Selected in 1968; evaluated by T.E. Boswell, J.W. Worthington, and J.A. Lipe. Berry: firmer and better quality, with smaller seed size than Brazos; ripens same season as Brazos (mid-May); intended as companion or replacement for Brazos. Tree: similar to Brazos, except flower petals lavender instead of white; canes moderately upright, slightly more than Brazos; productivity equal to or better than Brazos. Recommended for the West Cross Timbers region. Not recommended for southeastern Texas because of fungal disease or for northwestern Texas because of low winter temperatures. Should be treated with pesticides for insect, disease, and weed control. Fruit:
