This variety came to Bud through his father, Tim Dew, who grew and saved seeds of it all his life. In 2005, Bud gave seeds to Dr. John Morgan, a cultural geographer and professor of geography at Emory & Henry College, who was collecting heirloom collard strains for preservation on behalf of the USDA. Seed Savers Exchange requested this variety in 2016 from the USDA collection (G 32750). SSE Accession # 133006
