Hello Folks,

This was true for me last year, but this year the foliage was considerably
less corkscrewed. It is a strong grower, tho. I liked the corkscrew effect
combined with the strong growth and wondered if it was a peculiarity of the
cultivar or caused by something else. Perhaps it is enhanced by cultivation
and growing conditions. I was interested in Dennis's remarks and almost
mentioned VIBRATIONS, but wanted to check it out again before responding.
Mike said it first and I find that even more interesting.

Texas Zone 7 - HOT, HOT, HOT and DRY, DRY, DRY. Several months
away from the kind of late summer/early fall growth Bill Shear is already
experiencing. It's a marvel any plant survives what the seasons can dish
out from time to time.
