PUBLIC DOMAIN

Patent expired April 1, 2022. This plant is in the public domain — anyone may propagate and sell it.

Twenty years from the filing date would end on November 1, 2022, but this patent ends 214 days earlier — a terminal disclaimer gives term back. A source that calculates twenty years from filing would tell you this plant is still protected when it is already free.
