Here is a picture of my leafing out 'Hiryu' I got this last year as a 1G plant. has put out a think maybe 3-4" on growth this year so far. I love the irregular leaves on this plant. It has a nice green bark with some white speckles in it. I look forward to anyone else with experience with this cultivar.
I find 'Hiryu' to be a very fun looking tree. This one is about 8' tall and has a look similar to bamboo.
Very Nice, 8 ft. Mine may have made 2. It has put out about 6-8" of growth this year. Seems quite hardy with little dieback in Zone 5b. I find the leaves very interesting.
Here is a smaller Hiryu. It has the nice green leaf. I saw some leaves on it which were very similar to Hogyoku
I've had a few reversions to the Amoeum leaf on mine. Just hacked them off. This one is a favorite of mine.
