This morning I took photos of my larger 'Fused Leaf'. Without deeper research into my photo records I can't remember whether I planted pre- or post-Ian (2022). If before, it survived and has bounced back beautifully. Now that it has some size (~6') and is definitely clustering I look at it and wonder whether it is another Thai dwarf form of C lutescens, i.e., it will not grow tall like common lutescens. I have both Vietnam Dwarf and Thai Dwarf C lutescens, both are small to very small and, to my knowledge, do not flower or set seed - propagation via division only.

My question to experts: Does this 'Fused Leaf' mutation flower and set seeds (if RPS's claims are valid, it does)? Or is division the only way to replicate it? If it produces viable seeds I'd love to see photos of one doing so. How tall has it grown for you?

More than a few attendees of the 2016 Biennial must be growing this cultivar as it was a star attraction there. What are your experiences?
