How to categorize PNW based on Forms?


Hi Arabicum Lovers,Arabicum-Petch Na Wang (PNW) is one of my favorite Arabicum. I mostly use this hybrid to be maintained as Dwarf or Contest Form. From my experiences, I can categorize PNW into 5 popular styles. Please see below..

1. PNW-Multi Branches : This is very attractive style mixed with RCN blood. Leaves are almost shiny and some can have a little bit hairy. There are many internodes on the top branches. Branches are not big but too many.

2. PNW-Peacock Style : Almost the same as item 1. but more branches spread parallel to the ground. This form is pretty hard to find and I really love it.
3. PNW Muscular Style : Branches are not too many like item 1 and 2 but they are kind of big. Internodes are also less than item 1 and 2. Caudex is also big and great for Dwarf Form. Mostly I like to use this form to join in the contest. I called this form as "Muscular".
4. PNW White Ivory: Almost the same as item 3 but skin is white. Internodes are distant and not too many. Caudex skin is wrinkle like elephant skin so I called her as "White Elephant".
5. PNW Flamable Style : This style is also consist of RCN blood. Many branches are spread into the top. Internodes are not too many. Leaves are pretty shiny like RCN.

Next time, I will show you another great PNW mixed with Petch Muang Kong. Have a nice day.
