    I got a small A.p. Bonnie Bergman this spring, and haven't been able to find much info about it. Does anyone else have one? How big is it, and how old? Please tell me your thoughts about this cultivar. Any photos??

    Got 2 last fall (through ordering error on my part). Deep green leaves with red veining. I was glad I had 2 they arrived.

    Photos are from today. This spring leaves emerged red and are now turning green. The leaf photo shows an example of the red veining. I believe that the green will continue to darken.

    I don't have a fall photo.

    Both this year are spreading and not really going up too much

    Probably not too much more than you knew already.

    Thanks, that photo helps. My tree has yellow green leaves right now without signs of red veins. I'll have to watch it and see if it develops colors like yours.

    Thanks, mAtt
