    Hey everyone,
    Do we know where Mikawa yatsubusa originated? The MS database lists a date of 1972 but no other origin information, and none of my other sources including Vertrees have the info. Do we know whether it came from Japan, Europe, US, etc.? I'm just assuming it was from seed since it and many of it's offspring are so consistent/stable, or does that only apply to variegation?
