2024 Royal Dwarf α

WEEk 13 (DAY 85-91) 16/05/2024 (Day 86) The invasion of poplar plumes appears to be decreasing. There are still some in the air and obviously they stick to the buds and leaves, but I've noticed they degrade quickly on their own. The first day of wind and/or rain should probably be enough to clean the plant on its own. I limited myself to remove by hand the largest accumulations. 20/05/2024 (Day 90) As expected, a couple of days of rain and wind seem to have "cleaned" she up a bit. The buds are developing, although perhaps I'd have expected them to be plumper at this point, particularly by comparing her with her Gamma sister, who is lower, but has a very curvy and voluptuos body.
