Dixie Fire 2
Partially documented
Dixie Fire 2 is the companion entry to Dixie Fire 1 and carries the identical single line: the came from a farmer who saved the plants during that Californian wildfire. Nothing distinguishes the two numbered plants in the record, and neither has any description, species or measurements attached.Reported, but not confirmed.
Other TrichocereusNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.
Of the 3 things this page says, 3 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.
No source in this library records a cross for Dixie Fire 2. Nobody names a mother or a father for it, and no other entry here names it as a parent.
That is the record, not an oversight: of the 749 names in this library, 693 have no recorded relation either. Most named clones were selected, cut and passed along without anyone writing down what they came out of. A parent goes in here when a source states it and never because a name looks like one — a wrong pedigree would travel further than a blank one, because pedigrees get copied.
If you know where it came from, tell us — a person reads everything before it appears.

What the sources say
The two Dixie Fire pages carry the same sentence, so the difference between plant 1 and plant 2 is undocumented.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
