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

Tell me when it’s cut

When a cutting off TPMA revert is listed, I’ll email you to say so (if you are not signed in, after you have opened the link I send first). I only have one of most things, so it is first come — nothing is held.

Email me when this is available. I understand this notice is about the plant I asked about, that I can opt out from any message, and that my address is not shared with anyone.

You'll get emails from the yard. Unsubscribe any time.

What it looks like

Growth habit
Reverted TPM growth can turn monstrose again, because monstrose plants often switch between ordinary and irregular growth over their lives. A non-displaying monstrose looks like a plain plant while still carrying the genes.
