Official USDA-ARS US-1284 release PDF, 3-page release plus 4-page table addendum. Page 1 identifies a 1995 cross of Ninkat mandarin × Gotha Road #6 trifoliate orange at A.H. Whitmore Foundation Farm, made by Dr. Kim D. Bowman; it does not state seed/pollen roles or name a town. This is evidence of one cross associated with the rootstock selection US-1284, not a source for Ninkat’s own fruit or parentage.
