From what I gather, the larger and older any potential rhizome is, the better the chances for viable new shoots and the more likely one is to take in at least a decent harvest the first year. I know I'm speaking generalizations here, but this sounds right....right?
Could this explain some of the big differences in price what we are seeing? Like twice the price? Not sure there...
The flip side being some very cheap "bundles" that are out there. Maybe they'll be full yield in a couple plus of year but I don't think that the expectation would be that a rhizome that is half the length is going to have the same chances at success in terms of a good yield the first year. That said, the most important thing is likely the rootstalk selection.
Thoughts?
