Bridgesii

Texas Street

Partially documented

Texas Street is documented almost entirely by comparison: growers say it looks so much like Lumberjack that the two are easily confused. Its pedigree is blank, and a possible overlap with a called SDSB is raised and left open. A tough, woody core is suspected rather than confirmed, which matters mainly when you go to cut it.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.

  • Lumberjack lookalike
  • woody core

BridgesiiNamed clone: One original plant and every cutting taken from it, given a name by a grower.

Of the 9 things this page says, 2 name who reports them and 7 are marked as something we cannot confirm. Where a line is not settled, it says so underneath.

what the record holds

No source in this library records a cross for Texas Street. 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.

The longer version

Species, as our sources record it: ; the wiki page's best guess is T. , or something crossed close to it.Reported, but not confirmed.

The wiki page raises possible overlap with a clone called SDSB (San Diego Street Bridge) but cannot say whether the two are the same plant, sister seedlings or unrelated.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

Notes
Ribs, spines and closely resemble the clone Lumberjack, and the two are easy to mistake for one another at a glance. The wiki page suspects a very woody, tough core, which would make and harder work.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.

What the sources say

Whether Texas Street and SDSB are the same plant is unresolved on the wiki page.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.Our own notes record a different Texas Street story - a stand found on that street which had actually come from Arizona and was given a blended nickname. The community wiki files that account on a separate page, so at least two plants may attach to the same street name.Reported by one source, and not corroborated anywhere else.The wiki page is bot-compiled and unverified.Too little stands behind this for us to confirm it.
