Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From our own breeding program, aiming for good purples that can be somewhat economically propagated (unlike "purple tall") was this the best seedling. The working name was "Bushy Purple", referring to the fact that 'Yum Yum Plum' produces lots of stems and thus doesn't look as lanky as others. Similar to 'Nehi Grape' but a bit taller and darker.
