Talk:Rhododendron degronianum

Height after a certain number of years
Is this something that typically needs clarification in the morphological description section--how long it takes for a plant to reach a certain height? I haven't seen it listed on many other articles, as it's a metric that is unknown for most species of plant, except a small number (in the scheme of plant diversity) of commercially attractive and/or widely cultivated species.

 * I was objecting to it being removed without comment. I added that request for clarification a while back, because rhododendrons grow continuously (like all woody plants), so I thought it wasn't clear what "to 2.5 m" means. It was also unsourced. I suppose it must be the height of an older specimen, because the American Rhododendron Society says 3 feet at 10 years old, and the specimens that I've seen were pretty young and much smaller. But as you say it's probably no more unclear than figures given in other articles. — Eru·tuon 04:01, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I just assumed it was in one of the referenced sources, but I'll think next time before removing a clarification tag like that without adding a ref. –Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 14:41, 11 October 2018 (UTC)
