I'll admit that I am at a loss with all that pedigree info... But I do know that Yukon Gold was developed at a very well known and respected agricultural University here in Ontario - the University of Guelph - east of London Ont., west of Toronto Ont. They do alot of work with plants, and animals.

Kim, what Tom is showing is that lots of breeding work came before there ever was a variety known as Yukon Gold and that the parentage for it goes back to the 1800's.

The University could only build on ALL that occurred before in order to get what they got.

Pedigrees for a variety are fun. Kinda like a human family tree, if you will.
