This is an open pollinated seedling of Night Owl. While this is most likely a self pollination, I have the pollen parent listed as unknown as there is no way to determine whether or not this is correct. All open pollinated seedlings of Night Owl appear to have stems/branches that are either completely thornless or almost thornless.
