Does it have any aril genes? Or just purely a TB? Does
anyone grow it? >>
Hi Donald,
I have never grown CAIRO LYRIC, but I just happen to have out the 1972 R & I
book for another question. It was registered in 1972 and introduced in 1973.
Surprisingly, it is not from aril breeding. Parents are Black Swan X Gala
Madrid, both TBs. Registered as a 32 inch TB, the standards are
butterscotch-bronze, falls nearly black, butterscotch bronze beard.
