I really don't know how to tell, Tracey! They weren't as woody as the ones from Select Plus. I'm not ABSOLUTELY certain Select Plus's are tissue culture either now but the very first ones I purchased from them 7-8 years ago were. Sold them in tiny 4" pots. And I looked around but couldn't find the hybridizer, wasn't on the tag from the nursery either if I remember correctly. What do you think, Karen? Tissue culture or no from Behmerwald Nursery?
