Matt,
A fine specimen.
You didn't mention who collected/established it? Definitely worth some credit.

These don't seem to do well anywhere but southern California :>)
I know they've had trouble at the National Arb in Wash. DC and cover the soil if it rains. I think I heard they lost one.
A local club person won one in '96 at Wash. DC BCI convention that Kimura restyled ( Originally from Ernie Kuo) and it never survived in Ohio even after repotting with the same REALLY porous Ca, soil Ernie used. The rain, damp and humidity just seems to take a serious toll.
Ditto with SAGE plants away from their natural habitat BTW.

Is that 10 years worth of foliage in the first pics?
If so, good luck with the virtual foliage :>)

Jim Stone....
I'm suprised you are on the computer,,,,
Why aren't you out standing in the line around the theater to see the opening of "The Alamo"
:>)
