Default Re: Flag leaf question

I had heard, from a couple of different sources, basically the same thing as Patti mentioned. It would seem to me, that if a plant is growing under ideal conditions, it might be able to produce the required number of leaves in ten months whereas, if a plant is confined to a small pot, and is moved inside and outside every year, and only gets a few months of good sun, etc. each year, it may take a few years to produce that same number of leaves.
