Positive Todd_Boland On Dec 27, 2004, Todd_Boland from St. John's, NL (Zone 5b) wrote:

This selection arose as a witch's-broom. The leaves are Matsumurae Group and small. They emerge pink-red, then turn purple-red for the summer then bright scaret in the fall. The bushy plant can slowly reach to 2 m or 6 feet. Like many selection that arise from witch's-brooms, the central lobe is much shorter than the lobes to either side. Ideal for containers, binsai or a rockery. It should be noted that in too much shade, this selection will become bronze-green.
