Again, thanks for all the information. We are familiar with Brian's male clone 'Emerald Knight'. In fact we visited Brian's nursery last month. We have a selection that has a nice upright form with particularly black stems, very dark glossy leaves with a pronounced white mid-vein. We don't know if it's male or female - which is why I initially started this thread. We took a picture the other day and although the black stems seem to have faded being that it's September, earlier this summer they were quite noticeable from 20 yards as being 'what's that plant?'...here's a couple pics, tell us what you think...
