    Maybe one day. I don't like to post pics in the cultivar forums unless I am 100% on the ID and these are still at 99.something% lol! They have akso been kept in pots that are probably too small for them for many years so not that big for their age either. I think this tree has a growth habit more suited to growing in ground than in containers.

    I understand, but very difficult to be 100% sure though. Even if you buy from respectable nurseries, I have bought trees which did not seem true to form. Not even taking into account the differences one year to another or different growing conditions, lol.

    Even the most respectable nurseries are going to have that human error sometimes. But the respectable sellers are always keen to help and replace a miss labelled tree, where some do not. The latter are the ones to avoid IMO.

    14th June 2021 and my Azuma murasaki is doing rather well considering the awful Spring and now the heat.

    21st July 2021 and the overnight dew is now appearing on my Azuma Murasaki. I do like this tbh.

    4th April 2022 and my Azuma murasaki has started to leaf out, even though it was -6° c two nights ago.

    1st November 2023 and I was suprised at how long since I last posted my Azuma murasaki, so here are 2 photos from today.
