The way I understand it, each seedling that comes up will need
seperate names as cultivars. Is there any way to name the whole
batch of seed under one name? Considering that Meryl could end
up with hundreds of seedlings (and in the end, perhaps a couple
dozen plants and couple "cultivar worthy" plants) for just this
one cross, so many cultivars would be ridiculous.
Perhaps it is best to just use the location data for most and
name a couple that stand out...
Any chance to rank the bunch as Sub-Cultivars?
