The shop is closed just now. The shop is not open for orders yet. Everything here is real and grown in my own yard — have a look around — but I am not taking money until the last few things are in place. Ask about a plant

TBMA Revert

A partially rooted revert off TBMA. A revert carries the same genetics as the monstrose clone but grows in normal ribs, and it usually grows faster for it. Reverts turn up far less often than the standard monstrose form.

Nothing off this one is listed at the moment. It's growing in the yard and gets cut when it's ready.

Anything marked “not recorded yet” is a fact I have not written down. I would rather leave the gap than guess at it.

The story

This one has not settled into a plain column either — the growth keeps shifting on it.

Photographs
