History

• Seed originally from Australia, and it was offered to SSE listed members by Robert P. Hinchey of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin (WI HI R) in 1992 for 'trial in a different area'. Bill Minkey of Darien, Wisconsin (WI MI B) was one of the first SSE members who obtained the seed from Robert and he has been offering it in the SSE Yearbook since then.
