| Description |
Orig. in Davis, Calif., by Dale e. Kester, California Agr. Expt. Sta. Introduction in 1962.
Taken from 'Dedication: Dale E. Kester', written by Thomas M. Gradziel (see reference Horticultural Reviews Volume 30):
"A further responsibility of the almond breeding project was to complete
the evaluation of advanced selections and of the several thousands
of almond seedlings from controlled crosses. ‘Davey’ was jointly
released in 1953 from this project. A second program to develop a
smaller-sized version of the major almond cultivar ‘Nonpareil’ led to the
release of ‘Kapereil’ (1963) and ‘Milow’ (1975). While all three cultivars
met the requirements for which they were selected, none became widely
planted."
The 'Kapareil', developed and deriving its name from the 'Eureka' and
the 'Nonpareil', is a good pollenizer for the 'Nonpareil' (Kester et al. 1963). |
