Bartley, 1993a [BAR93A] These clone names are made up of two parts. The first number refers to one of eight locations: 1 - Las Hermanas, 2 - Tortuga, 3 - La Vega, 4 - San Juan, 5 - Stephen (owned by the same family as the San Juan Estate), 6 - Spring Hill, 7 - San Pedro Estate, 8 - Dos Hermanos. The second number after the "/" refers to the individual tree and not to a progeny of a tree as might be expected.
