"Bellmead" is a study name for this seedling. All seedlings in the current breeding pool from 2011 through 2018 are given a study name based on a Texas town/city starting with the letter 'B'.

Black Spot resistance varies. In a pot it was relatively susceptible. In the ground it has done much better. Still evaluating as of 2020
