unknown. The plants were reselected in greenhouses in
Sacramento and Woodland based on agronomic characteristics

The plants were reselected in greenhouses in Sacramento and Woodland, CA, based on good agronomic characteristics and freedom from foliage diseases, reducing 216 selections to 108. Approximately 3 cuttings of each clone were planted in a screened isolation cage and pollinated with leafcutter and honeybees. The 6 clones of Hilmar were randomly intercrossed with the remaining 102 clones and the seed of the Hilmar clones were kept separate. Seed from the 102 clones were bulk harvested to produce breeder seed (Syn. 1). The plants were dug and carried over to produce 84C70. The seeds produced in 1983 and 1984 were not bulked.
