A Liberty Co rugelii Mike selected for unusual size:rhizome ratio at juvenile stage. Now confirmed genetic giant (2019); Mike predicts alternate-year giant cycling pattern. 3 Mike photos (2019-04-23, with Ellie Wang holding traps for scale).
Standout traits
- Multiple big traps relative to small rhizome — exceptional size:rhizome ratio at juvenile stage
- Now (2019) producing a true-giant trap — confirmed genetic giant
- Moderately vigorous genetic giant — Mike predicts year-on / year-off giant cycling pattern (like rugelii Giant Thomas Co, GA)
Cultivation
- Expected alternate-year giant cycling.
