About

Hybrid-2 was developed in South Africa in the early 1940's. Thought to be an open-pollinated seedling of California Cluster, it was discontinued in South Africa in 1964 due to low yields. It is however still produced commercially in Cashmere, India where it shows significantly better yields.
