A new and distinct cultivar of white oak tree (Quercus alba L.) which is
distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, strong central
stem tendency, and excellent straightness, thereby producing good timber
qualities was discovered by the applicant near South Raub, Tippeconoe
County, Ind. in a white oak planting of seedling progeny from unknown
sources, although it may be a seedling from WO-43 for which a separate
patent application is filed. This selection has been designated as
`AFTO-1` in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of
this selection, and grafts made from the selection and will be known
henceforth as `AFTO-1`.
