'Allred', originally known as 'N.D. 216-23', was introduced by the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, Fargo, in 1937.[1] It is similar to 'Bison' in plant growth habit and fruit appearance, except that it has uniform fruit color without green stem spot. It is also reportedly heat resistant.[2] Believed to be the first commercial cultivar with uniform color.[1]
One parent of 'Allred' was 'Bison' and subsequently, 'Allred' was a parent of 'Sioux'. Our seed originated as USDA Accession Number PI 633453, which was originally donated as accession NSSL 5787 into the USDA's collection in 1961.
