Glossary
Yearling
Growers call it a seed-grown plant about a year old: past the fragile seedling stage, not yet an adult, and treated as its own stage by anyone raising seed. It takes a coarser grit than a seedling and a finer one than an adult, and buying one saves roughly a year over starting from seed yourself, growers say.
