I dont think so. I know that Lee has promoted it over the years, but my impression is that he received it as a cultivar already in circulation. Cliff England refers to it as one of the best old selections, or something of the sort. I received my wood from Jerry Lehman around the same time that Lee Reich seemed to start talking about it. Theres no mention of it in his book circa early 2000’s or so. @Lee , can you shed any light on the matter of ‘Mohler’s origins?
