Variety: Nero -
Acc. No. 6359  Pom No. 40540
Location - G : 23-24 : 3.
Scions received 3/13/08 as Illinois
Favorite.  Insufficient information
as to what Illinois Favorite is like
and varietal notes too fragmentary
and incomplete to help much
identification - but specimens
from Arlington regarded as Nero.

This Nero situation is the most 
confused of any variety mixup
at Arlington - at least it is 
one of the worst.  It seems
rather unreasonable that Nero
should actually have been mixed
with as many varieties as the
above would seem to indicate.
There is at present no satisfactory
explanation for what appears to
have occurred.  These records are
of little value from any varietal
standpoint but they account
for the accession numbers
and orchard locations.
