- Observation Self-fertilization of Gwen could not be excluded, with a possible frequency of about 5%.
- Observation Pollination of Gwen by cultivars of flowering type A was possible at a maximum of 17%.
- Observation Isozyme patterns for 9% of the embryos could not be matched to any orchard cultivar and were attributed to pollen from nearby orchards.
- Observation Gwen is predominantly outcrossed by cultivars of the complementary flowering type.
