This brings up an interesting question. I remember a prevoius discussion
on the list about whether we should snap off spent bloom stalks or slice
them off. A comment made by Bill Shear was that snapping the bloom stalk
broke it off along cell boundaries, while cutting it sliced through
cells thus leaving the plant more susceptible to disease.
I wonder if the same might not apply to separating rhizomes?
