Arilbreds have a tendency in milder climates to grow over the winter.
By January some of my arilbreds were two feet high. I believe you had a
relatively mild winter, compliments of El Nino, so I'm not surprised
your arilbreds are doing so well. If they are growing well, yes you can
get many increases from one rhizome.

Usually TB's do not have as many increases as arilbreds can. I said
usually!
If your TB's are dormant then you should see increases when your weather
warms up.
