‘Dodd’s White’
[NOTE: Lagerstroemia hybrid selection 5570 EL, originating at the U.S. National Arboretum, Washington, DC, was distributed for cooperative evaluation under a Memorandum of Understanding for the Evaluation of Potential New Cultivars. This trial selection was distributed for evaluation along with the future cultivars ‘Natchez’ (a sibling of 5570 EL) and ‘Muskogee’ as part of the Shrub Breeding Research Program at the U.S. National Arboretum. In 1976 a letter was sent to the cooperative evaluators ordering them to destroy all selections except for ‘Natchez’ and ‘Muskogee’. One cooperator did not destroy 5570 EL, believing it to be a superior selection. It then entered the trade under various names, including ‘Sarah’s Favorite’, the name by which it is now generally known. Despite the manner in which it was introduced and its similarity to ‘Natchez’, this selection has made at least one potentially important contribution to further breeding work as the pollen parent of ‘Chocolate Mocha’ DELTA JAZZ®.]
