    Nice! Looks true to type, but maybe it will be more vertical? We can hope. There are a half a dozen named clones around that all seem identical to 'Dissectum', I have a Polish one called 'Donig Special', slow growing and will probably be pretty small.

    I suppose it's like the Sessilifolium Group of JMs, plenty of seedlings pop up, reddish or greenish, and every once in a while one gets named. They're all similar to 'Ha-goromo' though. I've planted a few in the garden, one that's a good red in spring, and have a few decent seedlings now.

    Haven't gotten seed from Donig to germinate though!

    Cheers, -E

    I think you are right about being vertical. I love the growth habit of the one at the Arboretum. Donig seems nice with that slow growth.

    I would love to see that one with the red spring color.
