Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Shared with us by Woodlanders Nursery, having been received there as C. porrectum though appearing a bit more toward C. japonicum but with more graceful leaves, narrowly triangular and deep green with prominent veins and a lighter underside. Has grown to 25' so far with a narrow upright form. Requires dappled shade to full sun with summer water in dry climates. Appears tough and frost hardy to at least the top of USDA zone 7.
