I'm struggleing to find what is different about this form/ssp. Anyone know what the difference is from the normal version?

best regards

Chris

Anybody speak Romanian?

I believe the main difference is the surface texture of the tubercles, rougher on var. trachythele. Some who have actually seen the plants believe there is too little difference to name a variety.

Ok - thanks ian,
Maybe I'll wait and see one before I venture into growing them.....

Hi ian,
Just to make the connection - i went home and checked and have 8 robust seedlings of this already - duhhh.

Yes - in the absence of anyone who is really growing these at full size. They do seem to be a good colour so I'm looking forward to seeing them perform next year.

Best regards

Chris
