    Default Alcra Peggy Ruth Carpenter, or not ?

    A lost label in my collection ; my first thought was Peggy Ruth etc ,( of which I have several different clones - Morning Joy, Blanche, Dark Star etc... but when I came to write a label I had a nagging thought that it is not quite right for that hybrid, just the proportions. What do you think ?

    I wouldn't question it if I saw it labeled as Alcra. PRC. It is quite a variable cross, but of course there are others that could be similar - PRC offspring or other Tahoma Glacier crosses perhaps.

    I think it could be Peggy Ruth. It isn't one of the commonly available clones that you mentioned, but it could be a seedling or an unnamed clone. I have 'Morning Joy', and I can see how yours and mine might be sisters. The form on yours is different, but the spots are there.
