This is the second year that this shohin Corkbark Elm has produced cream/white spring foliage! It will green up in a few weeks but it is an oddity for viewing.


This is how it should look, my other shohin Corkie.

Haven’t a clue why, two years in a row now. I think I should have got it half price 😉 Not photosynthesis as it’s in a greenhouse.

No steps really, this was it’s first flush in Spring and it hadn’t been repotted this year. It did the same last year after repotting.
