Stem cuttings were sent to Dr Howard Bradbury at ANU in Canberra in about 1990, and subsequently provided by Dr Bradbury to AgSight in 2016. The variety has since been established in a field nursery at Kununurra in Western Australia. It is also growing in Queensland and at Monash University in Melbourne.
