Christian,

Don't forget the kajillion variables.

Doesn't necessarily mean the branching effect is not there. Just
that other things may be there that interfere. That's the trouble
with evaluating it. It's not really a bloom thing. It would take
acres of plants grown to provide enough data to test it. Who's going
to do that? For a trait that is completely separate from the
appearance of the bloom? Not gonna happen. Most of the work in the
area consists of warm-blooded mammals - like horses, or people. That
may not translate directly to plants even though it could be useful.
