In 1955 the IR-2 Project was established at Prosser, Washington, and a fruit tree repository was set up near Moxee City for the purpose of obtaining and preserving virus-free deciduous tree fruit stocks. Since its start, this Interregional Project has received and worked with over 600 clones, most of them being stone fruits, which are planted in the repository. Releases of healthy material are now the basic propagating wood used by research people, some nurseries, and for establishing mother blocks in many states and countries.
