GEISHA GONE WILD-2g

Nice small variegated tree that will become 6 ft tall and about 3 ft wide in 10 years. Great for containers and small gardens. This is a seedling that came from 'Geisha'. The leaf is similar to 'Geisha' but the plant is more vigorous and instead of spotted variegation, it will have pink and cream margins like 'Shirazz'. The center color is green-grey with a purple hue. In the spring, the pink color is outstanding and highly noticeable. Fall color is purple with orange tones. This seedling was selected and named by Buchholz and Buchholz Nursery in OR.
For best color, plant in morning sun. Afternoon sun tends to washout the color and if too hot, makes the creamy part of the leaf look tan. Rather ugly. Give it about 4 hrs of morning sun and it stays nice and fresh. Plant in well-drained soil. Zone 5.
