Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Like many plantsmen Herps have long been a passion of mine, not surprisingly our gardens are filled with snake branched cultivars, of all of them this is perhaps the most desirable, scion wood is in very short supply, in part because branches tend to die when a scion is harvested, a plant that detests pruning. This would make a fitting centerpiece in any collection.
