# From C-1 to a name you can taste

Gary Zill’s numbered seedling acquired a name for its lively balance.

Sweet Tart — Boynton Beach, Florida, United States

Documented history

Sweet Tart was planting C-1 in Gary Zill’s Boynton Beach breeding programme. Its recorded seed parent was Zill Indochinese, often shortened to Zinc. Those plain orchard labels preserve the work behind a name that now sounds like a sweet-shop invention.

The name describes the strong sweet-and-acid contrast growers report in the fruit. It tells the eater what made the selection memorable, while C-1 tells the grower where it began. The available record does not supply a separate person or historic event behind the naming.
