Hi guys, I am really dying to find out what this cultivar might be.(its the one on the left) The mother plant was planted throughout the city 5 years ago, but can not find the company or any records of the plants. I thought it is a Osakazuki, until a month ago when my real Osakazuki graft(from Esveld) started leafing(the one in the middle) It has gorgeous red autumn color just like the real Osakazuki. Are there any other known cultivars similar to Osakazuki? The second photo is the original tree in question in autumn.
I suppose that both the nature of the soil and the rootstock can lead to differences in the colours in the early stages of the plant, but others here will probably be able to give you more detailed information...
I think that you might be right. At this moment they are very similar, actualy can not tell them apart. It is posible that both are Osakazuki, one was a last summer grafting, the other one is this winter graft under poly tent. Different conditions. Thank you Alaink!
