stalkier
Even more pursuing
Stalkier is the comparative form of stalky, describing something more stalk-like—thin, elongated, and stem-shaped.
Plants with stalkier growth have longer, more prominent stems: The tomatoes in the shade grew stalkier than those in full sun.
The word can also describe gangly limbs or figures.
