What the fuck?!

Mutant bud, man! That's one healthy looking polypoidal shoot. Honestly, to tell you the truth, I'd think that'd be one fucking bushy bastard if it sticks to the polypoidal formation during it's production of alternating nodes.

Heh, imagine that..

As far as leading to alternating nodes I'm not too sure about. We'll just have to wait and see as that new growth matures.
