Origin
Mike's earliest documentation (2011-12-04) of his Ware Co, GA okee population, with three individuals identified by letter:
- Clone J — bronzy-red color, reddish window outlining.
- Clone N — separate selection.
- Clone S — shapely pitcher with the "classic textbook okee giant" look.
Cluster relationship
This entry covers Mike's letter-designated Ware Co individuals. Subsequent threads/entries cover:
- C0729 — broader Ware Co red-clone population overview.
- C0790 — 'Ultimate Red Giant' (named standout).
Mapping between the J/N/S identifiers and the later named standouts is not yet established in the wiki.
Standout traits
- Clone J — bronzy-red color with reddish outlining on the windows.
- Clone N — separate selection.
- Clone S — shapely pitcher with the 'classic textbook okee giant' look.
- Multi-clone documentation predates the broader 'Ware Co red clones' overview (cluster C0729).
Cultivation
Ware Co okees do not size up as easily as Charlton Co kin (Mike's general observation in the broader population entry). The 2015 update photos in this thread show Mike's continued cultivation of the population.

Naming
Letter designations (J, N, S) — Mike's internal numbering for individual clones from the Ware Co population. Not formal cultivar names.
