I was intrigued by the tiny leaves, which have almost microscopic white edges. The label says it is slow growing to 15 feet tall (we'll see). I can find almost no info on this on the www, and none at all in DG. Do any of you know anything about it? Do you think I should stake it? It sort of has a leader, but it is not growing straight up. How about limbing it up? i think it is grown from a cutting. The bend in the trunk at first looked like a graft union, but there are identical leaves growing from branches below that level. This is my first variegated tree (I must be regressing.) |
