Separate names with a comma.
Could have been a little sunburn on the branches if it looked clean inside. The new growth looks strong, which would be unlikely if there was a...
I like it for a bit of subtlety. Not exceptional for color when compared to similar varieties, but the structure and texture are nice as the tree...
Temperatures do seem to affect coloration (or at least the length of time under such temperatures). Here in South Carolina we would consider it...
There is technically one form of tsuma gaki (or tsume kaki perhaps) from my understanding. However, I believe one of the forms (there are at...
That is a good looking cultivar...may have to have one of those myself. I have a thing for reticulates.
Mine keeps a good color most of the summer in adequate light here, so you should see that continue.
I like these games; I'll join. 1. Upright green: Osakazuki 2. Upright red: Fireglow 3. Upright varigated: Shojo no mai 4. Upright reticulated:...
I'm certainly no genetics expert, so I appreciate the advice. Thankfully I have a little time to work on this.
One interesting thing to note about the parentage of Ryusen is that it is reportedly a selection from Jiro shidare, which already has a pendulous...
I haven't come to a conclusion on this one. I believe you are correct about the sun exposure on this cultivar (as well as others); sun revealing...
Yes the late freezes are hard to figure out...sometimes they damage them and sometimes they do not. Typically if they are protected by strong...
Not to knock on Shin deshojo, because it is lovely, but there is one coming that I find to be better...much better in fact. It has the same (or...
Do you happen to know if this a witch's broom or a selected seedling? I haven't noticed any truncated lobes on Buchholz' website, so I assumed it...
Interesting. I'll have to ponder over that a bit.
Re: Recommendations for Full Sun, Zone 7B (NC) I would consider a linearilobum like Red cloud or Atrolineare. They hold up much better in the...
It shouldn't hurt to go ahead and spray the trees with the Daconil you have there. I've used it on several occasions and had success where foliar...
I'm certainly not an experts on pathogens, but from my understanding the blackening at the base of the tree is often due to phytophthera or...
I've never seen pseudomonas do that kind of widespread damage on such a wide selection of cultivars. It tends to be deadly on coral bark...
I'm not aware of a palmatum cultivar with the name of Ogura yama...probably a typo there. If we can see a couple of pictures we might be able to...
That looks abnormal...you should really take care to protect them from cold snaps when they are budding out. Those shoots with flowers usually...
