PUBLIC DOMAIN
Patent expired May 10, 1994. This plant is in the public domain — anyone may propagate and sell it.
Twenty years from the filing date would end on June 15, 1996, but this patent ends 767 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.
