I going to address the thin and smooth leaf, we had
many thousands of Wide Brim in TC and there is a
variance in every aspect of what comes out of tc.
Width of yellow edge, ruffled leaf, etc.
So a single plant out of tc or division might not
exhibit all the attributes listed in the registration.
With that said Wide Brim was one of the most
consistent plants out of the tube.
I have plants given to me as Leola Fraim which look
much like WB but emerge about 2 weeks later than WB.
