I have learned that it doesn't matter if it is evergreen dormant or semi, however it is registered,may not be how it performs for me. I have some of each that do great for me and some of each that performed poorly and I culled. The same thing w the height, some are taller than registered, but most rarely reach the registered height here for me. Bud count? Many are registered w/o a bud count which I really see no reason for at all. If it has a low bud count, I don't want it. If it has a high bud count, why would the hybridizer not want to disclose that? Lots of dl are registered w no photo, I really see no reason for that in an age where people take photos of their morning coffee... and their kid's poo....
Then some hybridizers refuse to label the parentage of a dl...
In all, the registration info is often just not very handy.
