I'm working with an inherited garden, and all of us working with the asparagus have been shocked to find how well it grows! One of the things that we've been curious about though, is that there seem to be three types of stems that pop up. The first looks a bit like a Christmas tree, the second looks like the asparagus that you would buy at the store where the top is tight and the little parts do not grow out, and third, like the second form, it looks like the asparagus from the store but some of the parts at the top have grown out maybe two inches depending on its maturity.

\apologies, I'm on mobile, I'm going to upload photos from my garden of all of these in the next few minutes.\
