Thanks for the detailed post, Sharon.
What I was thinking, except I was thinking about plant growth habits, in
particular, response to drought and late winter/spring freezes, rather
than inheritance of 'aphylla branching'. E.g., aphylla seems to lose
it's leaves (go dormant) in response to cold or drought, is very shallow
rooted compared to, for example, the clone of reichenbachii I have, &
doesn't like the heat/drought of late spring summer - stalks are
stunted, plants don't thrive.

Now THAT'S a project for Linda Mann if I ever heard one... But I
wouldn't know 'aphylla type branching' if I tripped over it. However, I
can compare growth habits.
