Straight from the seedling pot into a little cascade pot it was an instant winner. It has been through almost as many little cascade pots as the years I have had it, always seeming to find a way to fall of the bench by the cat, kids or when I am moving stuff around. It also tends to suffer from lack of care. The small pot dries out quickly and it is sometimes overlooked in the afternoon watering.
It is often very burnt by this time of the year but with the new pot/soil or mild Summer we have had so far it is looking a little better than usual although there is the beginning of some leaf burn.
I also just noticed it has some fruit/seeds this year. Pity I missed the flowers I will have to look out for them next year
It can be a little frustrating getting it to put out branching instead of the wispy tials with tiny leaves that will fall off with the leaves each Winter but I am sure with better care it would respond better.
)...but yes, it does not look like the ones I have seen in terms of leaf colour.
