| Extra Information | "Tantramar" was distributed by a tissue culture lab in Nova Scoti but they were not sent the correct sibling. The trie 'Tantramar' (C-64-08) is likely extinct or its label has been lost in the Brueckner garden but siblings (C-64-various numbers) are about as well as a R.catawbiense v. compactum x 'Treasure (C-70-39). The latter appears to be superior to 'Tantramar' when tested in Nova Scotia. |
