From what I see of the species, the fuzz is present from sprout to new growth shoots (for blooms) so should always be present.

Really nice.  Looks very real to me.

Ah, you mean multiple tiny hairs on stems. Yes, that's missing. I wouldn't know how to add that in a way any computer can handle. I thought you meant the seeds when open.

Oh yeahh, I see what you mean. Yeah those should be pretty doable as alpha.

As for the fuz, yeah, no. I don't know how to do that without it killing a renderer. Lol I mean you could try some hair and just do it around the new growth bits (flowers), and make it not so thick, just enough to pickup some light. Otherwise I'd probably fake it for further shots with another mesh over the newgrowth bits, just a tiny bit larger, and then an alpha mask and transparency.

Dune

Yes, that was my thought too, or at least something like that; a few planes perpendicular to the stem, circling it, or twice crosshatched from the center (so 8 planes), with fine hairs as alpha. But that's too much work, though doable.

WAS

That's actually a really good idea with the panes at the center.

That looks really good!
