Hey Dave,
I've got three other clones. Two are too new to my cultivation to make a
good comparison. The other clone (Japan) is not quite as happy with my
cultivation method and I only have about 12 apices of this plant compared
to about 30-40 of the Australian type. So I am cautious about making a
comparison. That Japanese clone is still branching (perhaps) although
slowly.
Also, photos I've seen comparing different clones have suggested that
plants from different areas have different branching habits, at least in
vitro.
P.S. I got these plants in trade from Doug Darnowski. Interested growers
should contact him.
Barry
