Growth and branching varied among known A. cervicornis genotypes in a nursery. Bleaching frequency differed among genotypes; growth rate declined after bleaching. Faster-growing genotypes had less buoyant weight per cm of total linear extension. Results support the use of a trait-based system for A. cervicornis restoration.
