Plymouth, England. This plant can be grown outside here but needs to be planted in a well-drained, sunny site.

Small tree like plants, miniature, suitable for bonsai, to varieties, one very dainty with rose colored flowers, the other more stalky with white flowers each flowering a different time of the year. The red form flowers in Sept.Oct. The red form like a miniature oak tree, this form will have a peeling bark (skin) that is brownish red. Purchase by mail order or private collectors. Grigsby's may still have this plant at about $7.00
