Asahi Zuru 3/4/07

This beautiful bark coloring appears on our Asahi Zuru, even though Vertrees states this sort of coloration on the plant's branches and trunk appear only on Oridono Nishiki. I have several Oridono Nishikis which also have exhibited this sort of colorful striping on the stems and trunk, but it's clear this Asahi Zuru is a different cultivar from Oridono Nishiki and this is its bark coloration.
