I planted S3 from Steve Lau in 12/05/12. 05/22/2013 one shoot of Equal size. 4ft tall about 1/8". 01/30/14 top killed. 05/16/14 top killed but put up 2 shoots 3x previous size about 3/8". 05/10/2015 top killed again but one shoot 2x the size at 3/4 ". 05/20/2016 did not top kill 2 shoots 2x the size about 1 and 1/4 "
Update on this This year I got many shoots that I didn't even count yet but most of them are close to 2 inch. I will go out and count them soon but I bet 20 or more. I cut large Rhizomes out that were growing where I didnt want it. The rhizomes were around 1 1/4 in diameter and 15 feet long.

Almost 2inch I think it is thicker now at the bottom I will check soon.
