Hi John,
I have been seeing quite a bit of that this year also. I think that
hybridizers are breeding for it and it is starting to carry through more
and more. Several of our intros this year have been triple socketed on the
terminal and side branches. (Heartbreak Hotel, Thunderball and September
Frost). I've noticed that some of Schreiner's 97 intros did the same
thing. You and I are both in the same USDA zone so maybe it's just the
weather. We do breed for it though.
