It arose as a sport from a mature plant found growing near an expressway at Kariong, New South Wales in 1986. Cuttings were propagated, and a cultivar registered by Phil Packham in December 1987. Propagating rights are with Princeton Nursery, Mount White. Due to little consumer interest, the two existing plants have not been propagated from for some years.
