This is one of my exception trees (a tree that is not a shimpaku juniper or satsuki azalea). I got it from andy smith last year, and repotted it into akadama after the purchase. I dont know what I am going to do with it yet, maybe a cascade, but I couldn't have a proper collection without at least one collected tree. This is my only American collected tree. It had good growth last growing season, so I had to do something right.
