Conestoga 058 was one of the monofoliate original survivors Kumin identified from his Conestoga F2 seedling trial. He reported planting the trial seed on April 12, 2018, field-transplanting the cohort outdoors without cold protection in June, and using F1 C-35 as seed parent while the pollen parent remained unidentified. These accounts describe population context; they do not establish 058’s individual embryo origin or a measured cold-survival threshold.[27][28][29][30]
