Calibrachoa plant height

Calibrachoa Cerv.

The height of Calibrachoa is measured from the substrate level to the highest point of the plant and is a key trait in the DUS testing system, categorized into expression levels ranging from low to high.

In the reference 23 varieties crop Calibrachoa, where this is mentioned in the description.

To assess Calibrachoa height, the UPOV methodology is used, according to which the measurement is recorded from the soil surface to the top of the plant. Within the framework of variety testing, this trait is considered mandatory for the harmonization of descriptions and is evaluated on an expression scale: low, medium, and high.

Typical height values for the majority of Calibrachoa hybrid forms fall within the range of 40 to 60 cm. Furthermore, for varieties with long shoots, their length is additionally assessed, and the overall bush height can vary from compact dwarf forms to tall specimens.

Plant height determines the method of crop utilization, including the selection of container volume and the application of apical pinching to promote branching. The suitability of a variety for creating cascading compositions in hanging baskets or balcony boxes depends directly on this metric.
