The ?rst act of asexual reproduction of ‘CIDZ0004’ was

accomplished when vegetative cuttings were propagated The plant descriptions, measurements and aforementioned photographs were taken in Gilroy, Calif. in mid May 2011 under natural light. These plants were propagated and grown in Nipomo, Calif. and shipped to Gilroy, Calif. for the data collection and photographs. These plants were approximately

from the initial selection in February 2007 in a controlled

environment in Fort Myers, Fla., USA. BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Horticultural examination of plants grown from cuttings of the plant initiated in February 2007, and continuing thereaf

11 weeks of age; grown as four plants together in a six inch

ter, has demonstrated that the combination of characteristics
