Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Yellow fall color accented with red veins highlights this small-statured (to 8') along with small, only slightly upturned leaves of green edged with bronzy-green; like Kurui jishi but smaller for container/bonsai. S-PSh/M
Similar in leaf to 'Kurui jishi', although not quite as upturned. It also appears to be a smaller statured tree. Leaves are small, palmate form, dark green with bronze margins
Green. This cultivar reminds one of 'Kurui jishi', but with its only slightly upturned leaf edges and its dark green color. The small 5 lobed palmate style leaves are nicely textured and held on the stems each in its own place. The yellow fall color is accented by red veins. We believe it will be smaller in stature than 'Kurui jishi'. A good find.
