Clover does not exist in appreciably significant numbers as tripoid according to the usda. Remember they are talking about distinctly different species of clover when talking about different ploid levels. After reading your information all I see is that it would produce many junk plants which means commercially it needs research but for small growers it is useful after sifting through junk.
Your last post is very useful thanks but your first two were your opinion on the information which is different from mine as I dont mind tossing a dozen or two plants. Let people decide for themselves. Or in other words your opinion along with the information is more than appreciated but your opinion without supporting information is useless as we may (do) have different standards for what's acceptable.
I think GMT was anticipating a suggestion that "Whorled Phylotaxy" is a sign of a plant being triploid and preparing to make a pre-emptive strike.
