This is why 'Mother Divisions' (natural divisions of the original awarded plant) carry such high price tags (think 3 digits, sometimes 4).
Meristems made from mother divisions are priced higher, than random meristems, which might be 2-5 generations removed from a mother division.
Meristems are assumed to be 'identical' to the mother plant, but as mentioned above, we just can't be certain.
