This basically being my rookie season I'm by far not an authority but in my yard and with all the wrong things that I do the tissue cultures have grown the best. Pups I've bought and ones I've separated just haven't grown as fast. It's probably something I'm doing but I'm learning. The only issue I see with tissue cultures is not knowing what you're actually buying. Lou Ferrigno was supposed to be a Blue Java but I think it's a Namwah. Still it's a plant like I never thought I could grow so I'm satisfied and it's producing very healthy pups for me.
I have 10 TC ordered as blue java from wellspring gardens. They are of course namwah.. most are 12' tall or taller pstem height as of this month. My pups from Akula are a blue java, and a Raja Puri, and a mystery plant.
My namwah plants throw off more pups than can keep up with!
