Pachanoi

Terminator B. TPM

Partially documented

This is a whose growing tips close themselves off instead of extending, which is the whole of the wiki record. Its circulating nickname is an innuendo we do not print, so the entry carries the initial instead. No origin, grower or date is documented, and the self-terminating habit is the only trait on file.Reported, but not confirmed.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for Terminator B. TPM. 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

No source we have found argues about this name — nobody has written that it is confused with another plant, or that two growers mean different things by it. That is worth knowing in itself.
