Yes, Baz, I know it's a good variety. My father used to get sticks 3'
long!

One stick on my first batch of crowns (around 1970) weighed a pound -
but I'd given each one four feet depth of what it likes and at least two
gallons of water on days it didn't rain, and not pulled a stick the
whole year.

You had to be careful not to get lost in the bed...
