Polly great article but I beg to differ.
I have managed to kill every japanese I have ever gotten even though I was able to finally bring one to bloom.
They hate me. Don't know why they just do. I can grow Arils and Arilbred in the midatlantic state of Maryland but JI continue to frustrate me.
Sibs, versicolor, even pseudatas like what I give them
the Japanese just take one maybe if I am lucky two looks and die
