1272.5 Sherwood 2014 started out as my Number-2 plant, but has slowed down after a great start. It is a bit slow in developing secondaries and has slowly crept out to 7-feet. It's planted in the Southwest quadrant and is growing south-to-north. I am wondering if the neighboring garden's shade cloth is casting too much of a shadow on the plant. It certainly isn't as much shade as what last year's Sherwood plant (486 Baker 2015 - AZ State Record) had to tend with. Still, I'm trying to figure out what is different. The plant was started 5-feet from where last year's winner was planted. The Sherwood plant is growing across from the 494 Gansert - which has been a big surprise for me.
