Different size shoots?

[petec59]

Planted 19 diff clumps of yellow grove 2 months ago, some are shooting big 1" diameter shoots and others are skinny little drinking straw types, what is the diff?

Almost an inch....lol....Seriously....I'm guessing it is due to the amount of rhizome ball that you got with buds. for example. I had dug two divisions of yg a couple of years back. one was about 18 inches around with a nice culm. the other 18 inches too, actually had smaller culms but broke in two. I planted the two halves anyway. One half had no culms, just a root ball. as of now both of the smaller two halves are putting up 3/4 inch culms about 12 ft. the other division, the one i thought was a great one, well the huge culm is dead and there are only a few whip shoots growing from that division. I am guessing i didn't get too many viable roots with that division. Just an opiniion but that has been my experience.

I am going to have to agree with Kurt due to similar results on numerous occasions.
