"Zur Wahl stehen heute neben dem klassischen Weihnachtsstern-Busch auch Hochstämmchen, Mini-, Midi- oder Maxiformate."
This is from a series of texts about poinsettias ("Weihnachtssterne"). I'm not sure what kind of arrangement is meant by "Hochstämmchen" in the above sentence and would be grateful for any suggestions or explanations.
Many thanks
Ian

Selected
single-stem poinsettias
While Googling around, I kept finding Hochstämmchen contrasted with Büsche. So I think these are plants that have been pruned to a single stem.
