- breeding line multi clone
Origin
A Mike-bred F1 cross between two genetically distinct clones from the same Transylvania Co, NC population. Cross made >10 years before the 2023 thread; seeds were cold-stored when most of Mike's original mother plants died during a move, then sown ~2017-2018. The resulting seedlings are now the inheritor lineage for those parental genetics.
Standout traits
- F1 vigor — visible despite recent winter division.
- Mike's framing: selective intra-population breeding tends to yield more grower-friendly offspring than the wild type.
Cultivation notes
Vigorous and grower-friendly. Mike notes Transylvania Co material generally requires montana-experience to grow well; this F1 batch is performing without that as a barrier.
Standout traits
- F1 — selective intra-population breeding.
- Mike-rebuild lineage: cross was made >10 years before 2023; seeds cold-stored; sown ~2017-2018 because most original mother plants died after Mike's move.
- Looking nice 2023 despite recent winter division — vigor argues that selective breeding produced grower-friendlier offspring than wild type.
Cultivation
Recently divided/transplanted in winter 2022-2023; no observable setback in 2023 season. Vigorous; grower-friendly relative to wild-type Transylvania Co montanas.

Naming
F1 = first-generation cross descriptor. Documents Mike's intra-population breeding (same locality, two genetically distinct parents).
