Big Birds Friend is huge golden yellow with 5 way branching and 30 bud count. It has been a very good garden plant, seen far across the garden. Brings genes from brother Charles [Reckamp]and tetra Spindazzle into the unusual formed yellows. Scape height has been passed down from Jack and the Beanstalk. Fertile both ways but difficult pod parent..
