This elegant male selection was introduced by Orlando Pride in 1961. It is one of the many hardy cultivars of the famous 'Grace Hybrid Group'. The glossy dark-green foliage features spines on the tips of the margins and this cultivar is allegedly resistant to leaf spot. This beautiful 30-35' specimen is reliable as a pollinator for any female form. S-PSh/M
