Is this really what it says it is?
« on: June 24, 2017, 05:13:11 PM »
This plant label says Rubus taiwanicola BSWJ317, but all the pics on the net seem to show entirely green foliage!
Is the label correct?

Perhaps just juvenile growth showing the red colour?

The extent to which it is covered with buds rather indicates a degree of maturity Maggi, but I will keep an eye on it,
Thanks.

Yes, this is the correct plant - love it to pieces! Maybe it has just something to do with light levels and perhaps those on the web have been grown more in shade? Ours have red stems and are grown in full sun as it would in the wild.
