The Lemon Twist is an eye catcher, parts of the limbs are reddish brown brushed with a glowing lemon-lime hue, the limbs structure resembles sea coral or a wirery corkscrew. During summer into fall the colors are deep emerald green with chartruse tips, then the chartruse color spreads over the entire plant; and intensifies during winter into spring! Pictures from summer, fall and winter 2008.
