Action and Timing

Unfolding yellow foliage droops beautifully from the branches of this round shaped plant to 12ft, the leaves are edged with a colour best described as persimmon red or purple red, it is quite simply delightful and holds well till the reds and crimson of autumn, Tsuma Gaki offers lovely contrasting colours for any light.

Opinion

Good plant if you can get it. I have limited stock but if you like good purples with an unusual tint, then Tsuma Gaki is for you.
