- Cultivar
- 'stretchercize'
Origin
A standout alba selected by Mike from a near-1000-seedling Washington Co AL pheno-hunt. Picked for the unusual extent of white stretching down the trap.
Standout traits
- White character extends farther down the trap than typical for albas.
- Best-of-batch — no other seedling close.
- Likely solid white under optimal conditions.
Cultivation notes
Albas typically show more venation when shaded by neighbors or recently transplanted; the small venation visible in 2023 photos likely reflects those conditions, not the clone's true potential.
Standout traits
- Best-of-batch white-stretch character (out of <1000 seedlings).
- White extends notably far down the trap.
- Likely to be solid white under optimal conditions — current photos show some venation from light competition / recent transplant.
- Mike: 'serious promise' for becoming a top alba.
Cultivation
Albas typically express more venation when light is competitive or after a recent transplant; expression resolves with maturity and stable conditions.

Naming
Mike: "looks like it worked out really hard to get as much white down the trap, hence the name." Mike notes he is running out of names for stretchy white albas.
