It's interesting that he says they are sterile and triploid; which agrees with what a lot of people have been saying on the forum. This form is clearly self-sterile, but can it be crossed with other forms of R. bifida (assuming that it is triploid)? I'm also wondering whether this triploid form is more vigorous than the usual form - does anyone grow this triploid form as well as the usual form for comparison?
