I'll take some on the weekend.
They tend to darken I think into autumn / winter then brown off with the frost. Cut back real hard to little stalks in winter to get nice fresh growth in Spring

Ray Nesci Usually has some and not much cost.
Dead easy to grow. Just water and fert with the rest of the trees. Cut back to nothing in winter and it regrows in the Spring
at $50 buck I will go into business
