Yellow Rockets
Tolver's yellow rocket seedlings and clones are now all in the ground. We will get flowers from the clones inside a year, but will have to wait up to 3 years to get flowers from the seedlings. He will then be able to embark on his breeding program. Tolver wants to try and put some color into the yellow rockets and come up with a new commercially viable cultivar before dad dies so that he can name it after him while he is still alive to appreciate it.
He is too modest to say he wants a plant named after him, but he has done so much for us, and is already a doctor of horticulture, so we think he deserves one. It is the best honorarium that we can give him.
