- Observation Main stems weighed c. 30–40 g 8 months after planting.
- Observation Main stems weighed c. 70 g 18 months after planting.
- Observation By March 1997 only 4 of 25 stems per m2 were over 60 g each.
- Observation Up to 5 kg/m2 of fresh material was produced in the first year after planting.
- Observation Up to 6 kg/m2 of fresh material was produced in the second year.
