Pongamia Flower, Update Bosques Energeticos EBE S.A. de C.V.
Legendary is pleased to announce that its investee company Bosques Energeticos EBE S.A. de C.V. ("Bosques") reports that its crop of elite Pongamia Pinnata ("Pongamia") has begun to flower. This is the first time that Pongamia has successfully flowered in Mexico, and it is believed to be the first time that Pongamia has flowered in Latin America. Pongamia typically flowers in 4 or more years. Bosques's Pongamia has exhibited its first flowers in 2.5 years.
The flowering continues to demonstrate the value in Bosques's strategy of sourcing and using elite products and conducting R&D to develop elite crops. The flowering which is a "first" builds upon the "first" that Bosques achieved by starting the first elite Pongamia mother garden in Mexico in November of last year.
