    Earlier than the average JM here, but not the earliest. Reddish at leaf out also this year.

    Like most, if not all palmatums, the leaves have reddish tones at the tip of the leaflets when they open, but soon turn green once fully developped.

    Here's mine today :

    I put as many trees as possible under the big Prunus which is now in full leaves so as to reduce the effects of the frost...

    6th May 2022 and my Okushimo is starting the transformation to those curled up leaves that it is so well known for. I could just sit and watch it all day long. Lol.

    Yes, it's true! and it is a cultivar that resists well to the sun and the wind, for our greatest happiness.

    Totally agree Romain and I wonder if Hippy fin mo that is so very similar will stand up to frosts and heat etc etc.
    Your leaves have turned up very nicely. Mine are about two weeks behind yours.

    6th July 2022, basking in the afternoon sun, my Okushimo is a favourite today in my garden.. The upward facing leaves have a sheen to them.

    10th December 2022 and Winter has hit early this year. -7°c overnight has certainly made my Okushimo go to sleep.
